LLVM RT library will actually cross-build from OpenBSD provided sufficient
limits are in place for the build user.

Special notes for cross-hosting a NetBSD build on certain platforms.
Only those platforms which have been tested to complete a "build.sh" run

-------
As of -current 20210629, ./build.sh will build src on OpenBSD 6.9
-for some platforms. Known problems:
-* MIPS targets do not currently build.
-* The LLVM RT library will not build and consequently nor will X on
- amd64 and i386.
+for all targets except MIPS-based ones.
+
+For builds requiring the LLVM RT library (including X on amd64,
+i386 and evbarm64-el), the build user's limits needs to be setup
+for higher memory usage, otherwise the build will fail. This can
+be achieved by either building as root (not recommended) or
+by changing the datasize attribute to infinity for the relevant
+groups and users in /etc/login.conf.
