Is this a recent regression?  Blaming these two line ranges ...

... in the OpenBSD repository says they haven't changed for many
years, and I am wondering what triggered this all of a sudden.

If we know how we used to have no issue, in addition to how we now
have issue with the current OpenBSD (which you outlined very well
above), and when the situation changed, please add to the proposed
log message.  That would help people on OpenBSD to decide when they
want to upgrade their copy of Git.

Also, I am wondering if this "A and B needs only 500 but C needs
600, hence require 600 from all three" is a healthy thing to
continue.  How bad it would become to split C at least from A and B,
to give it an independent status, i.e. leaving the above line as-is,
but insert

	#elif defined(OPENBSD)
	#define _XOPEN_SOURCE 700

before the existing catchall
"#elif !defined(__APPLE__) && !defined(__FreeBSD__) ..."  line?

If there is somebody stilll on AIX who can test, we might go further
by separating it out as well, but that would be a separate project
that should be handled outside the scope of adjusting for OpenBSD.

Thanks.
