I've already tried building 2.067 druntime by mistake and 
run into problems. Most are resolvable by just adding 
TARGET_OPENBSD next to TARGET_FREEBSD. But yeah, it's gonna 
take some work. I want it because I'm using OpenBSD as my 
main OS and I have a project that I want to port to D.

Btw I should've built the `install` target (got confused by 
the wiki). Now I get:

cp: ../ini/openbsd/bin64/dmd.conf: No such file or directory

which is more understandable.
