Message: this patch is simple enough (almost trivial) as it only adds "#ifdef __OpenBSD__" to the clauses that are already handled by "__FreeBSD__". i don't see a reason to not include it (but of course this all depends on miller).
small note on patches: - the patch doesn't apply here (`patch` thinks the diff is garbage) - Pd is developped in git; it would be great if you could generate your patches using git as well; see [1] - as for atomicity of patches: personally i think creating a (few) smaller patches is not a real problem; make sure that those patches are logical units rather than reflecting your iterative trial-and-error history to fix a problem. then attach all patch files to this ticket (rather than creating a new patchtracker-ticket for each file)

Message: That'd be ideal but since I'm not sure about the other changes (using config headers, etc.) I'm submitting what I know for certain that won't change depending on the approach.
For example what should I do if alloca.h doesn't exist? In my git repo I have #ifdef HAVE_ALLOCA_H where the define is driven from autotools header check but I'm still unclear whether you want to use the headers or not (and the reason you might not want to do it since you're already using autotools).
Happy to submit everything in one go if you can suggest what the best course of action is.

Message: The best thing to do would be to make a single patch that includes everything needed for OpenBSD support.
