I have also had this problem using OpenBSD 3.5, and am reluctant to start fiddling with either the OpenBSD or CommonC++ code, and it seems to be complaining about OpenBSD's includes. Any ideas?

This has been resolved in the latest release.  It was related to _XOPEN_SOURCES being defined, if I recall correctly.  Anyway, this problem existed both for OpenBSD and NetBSD.  I think it was also in FreeBSD, and if you go to the config.h header and look for the __FreeBSD__ case that covers this, you can do the same change for OpenBSD and NetBSD, and it will work.
