Replacing those constants with a sentinel value in clib.c should do the
trick, i.e., something like:

#ifdef __OpenBSD__ /* or whatever OS-specific constant is defined */
#define ERA (-1)
...
#define ALT_DIGITS (-1)
#endif

(The proper way to do that would be to add some checks for those
constants in configure.in, though.)

If that again leads to the "silent failure" that you mentioned then
please report that here so that I can try to figure it out.

HTH,
Albert
