OK.
You know that OpenBSD includes popa3d, right? Did that version or the
way it's built not satisfy you and why?

1. You have enabled POP_VIRTUAL. Do you really need it? If not,
disable it and you'll avoid this problem.
2. There really appears to be a bug either in that header file or in
the way I'm using it with the #define's (_XOPEN_SOURCE and so on).
Camiel, -- if you're reading this, could you handle this report within
the OpenBSD team as appropriate? I'd appreciate being CC'd on any
discussions, especially if there's anything to correct on my part.

You shouldn't be building source code as root. But this is not
related to the problem you're seeing.
