Sadly it seems there is not much interest in having this > OS covered by tests (except by Peter Maydell). What were the blocking issues with getting the test fixes accepted in previous postings ? Was it simply no one interested in reviewing it or actual review problems ? With our increased interest in CI & push to drop build targets which are not actively maintained, I'd question whether OpenBSD (or any build target in the same situation) should continue to be supported if the test suite hasn't worked for several releases in a row & not enough people are willing to contribute to fix it.
