Re: [Ccrtp-devel] Proof-of-concept RTP softphone now working on OpenBSD

It sounds like we need to work on some of the configure tests in
commoncpp2 to better support OpenBSD.  I would be happy to look into
that, and I would be happy to incorporate changes for OpenBSD for the
next release (1.4.3).  This does not directly tell us where Twinkle is
misbehaving on OpenBSD, although again I suspect offhand it might be
Semaphores (and if so that the underlying implementation of conditionals
on OpenBSD pthread has issues) since none of the default tests and
sample apps stress those, but Twinkle certainly does.
