I haven't tried compiling on a Sparc system running OpenBSD, but after
seeing your report I did attempt a compile on a FreeBSD/i386 system.

And ... there is a bug in the bbgen Makefile that builds the
network-tester and also c-ares. The error you get when trying to
build, is it something like

   make: don't know how to make w. Stop

or what is the problem ?

If it's the above error, then the solution is to a) use GNU make
instead of the FreeBSD/OpenBSD standard make, and b) change the
bbnet/Makefile line 43 from

    (cd c-ares-1.2.0 && make libcares.a)
to
    (cd c-ares-1.2.0 && $(MAKE) libcares.a)

This causes it to use the correct make-tool, and then the build
works.

Henrik
