For -stable?  100.0% of the time.  This is *stable*, not -current, where
things to change.

I think you want to go back to the openbsd.org site and read the faq
(again?) to see how it all hangs together.  Offhand, if you didn't specify
which HEAD to get src from, you'd have gotten -current, which isn't
what you want at all.

If you've read the FAQ and think you know how to build things, post
your commands exactly.  But first read or reread the FAQ again.  At
least 99.5% of my mistakes were made by my not properly following
the documentation.
