Considering to release the new portable version for 4.6 ?

Thank you very much for your explanation.

You have given two solutions:
------------------------------------------------------------
(1)
  One way I can see of dealing with these is to have configure check the 
  settings at configure time and put them in config.h.
------------------------------
(2)
  An alternative would be to include "defines.h" after the system headers 
  but before the compat headers.
------------------------------------------------------------
I think
   * that the method (1) is really reliable but not elegant.
   * that the method (2) is elegant but dangerous, which
     might cause other kinds of trouble...


When I checked includes.h and openbsd-compat/openbsd-compat.h,
I noticed that these two headers do "#include" each other:
------------------------------------------------------------
%%%%% egrep -n '#include.*(includes|openbsd-compat)\.h' openbsd-compat/openbsd-compat.h includes.h
openbsd-compat/openbsd-compat.h:32:#include "includes.h"
includes.h:167:#include "openbsd-compat/openbsd-compat.h"
%%%%% 
------------------------------------------------------------
Is it done intentionally?
