Question about building Python-3.9.12 on OpenBSD 7.1

[Dan Stromberg]

It's been my understanding that there is a fundamental difference between
the *BSD's and the Linuxes.

The *BSD's have their ports system, that collects deltas against
third-party packages to build them on a *BSD.  These deltas become part of
the ports system.

The Linuxes port an application, and contribute the deltas to the package's
upstream maintainer.

For this reason, I suspect you may do well to contact the person in charge
of the port of CPython to OpenBSD.
