- Python 3 now supported.
- Bump boost version to 1.61 - one boost patch no longer needed.
- All checked with OpenBSD 5.9, except for the clang part, I left this
as-is for someone adventurous.
- Mention overriding resource limits, OpenBSD's default ulimit does not
suffice for building Bitcoin Core with gcc 4.9.3.
pkg_add python # (select highest version, e.g. 3.5)
```
The default C++ compiler that comes with OpenBSD 5.7 is g++ 4.2. This version is old (from 2007), and is not able to compile the current version of Bitcoin Core. It is possible to patch it up to compile, but with the planned transition to C++11 this is a losing battle. So here we will be installing a newer compiler.

You can install a newer version of gcc with:
```bash
pkg_add g++ # (select newest 4.x version, e.g. 4.9.2)
pkg_add g++ # (select newest 4.x version, e.g. 4.9.3)
```
This compiler will not overwrite the system compiler, it will be installed as `egcc` and `eg++` in `/usr/local/bin`.
