I have been meaning to try and come up with a fix for this issue for 
awhile now. This has come about because OpenBSD 5.3 and newer now 
utilizes PIE by default on most of our architectures and building the 
ROM images needs to have PIE disabled. We have a patch in our ports tree 
to deal with this but it is not appropriate for upstream as is.
