Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] tests: vm: auto_install OpenBSD

[Brad Smith]

I very much appreciate the effort to bump up to 6.3 as I was going
to suggest doing that at some point. But bumping up to 6.3 at the
moment will fail with the configure script. We've switched from GCC 4.2
to Clang. The TLS check will fail with Clang's emulated TLS. We've
had a local patch for awhile to fix the test but I don't think it is
appropriate to upstream as is.
