instructions a lot.

GCC **Important**: From OpenBSD 6.2 onwards a C++11-supporting clang compiler is
------- part of the base image, and while building it is necessary to make sure that this
compiler is used and not ancient g++ 4.2.1. This is done by appending
The default C++ compiler that comes with OpenBSD 6.2 is g++ 4.2.1. This version is old (from 2007), and is not able to compile the current version of Bitcoin Core because it has no C++11 support. We'll install a newer version of GCC: `CC=cc CXX=c++` to configuration commands. Mixing different compilers
within the same executable will result in linker errors.
```bash
pkg_add g++
```
This compiler will not overwrite the system compiler, it will be installed as `egcc` and `eg++` in `/usr/local/bin`.

### Resource limits
The standard ulimit restrictions in OpenBSD are very strict:
data(kbytes) 1572864
This, unfortunately, may no longer be enough to compile some `.cpp` files in the project,
at least with GCC 4.9.4 (see issue [#6658](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/6658)).
If your user is in the `staff` group the limit can be raised with:
ulimit -d 3000000
The change will only affect the current shell and processes spawned by it. To ```shell
make the change system-wide, change `datasize-cur` and `datasize-max` in export BDB_PREFIX="$PWD/db4"
`/etc/login.conf`, and reboot. ```
