-GCC
--------
-
-The default C++ compiler that comes with OpenBSD 6.2 is g++ 4.2.1. This version is old (from 2007), and is not able to compile the current version of Bitcoin Core because it has no C++11 support. We'll install a newer version of GCC:
-
-```bash
- pkg_add g++
- ```
-
- This compiler will not overwrite the system compiler, it will be installed as `egcc` and `eg++` in `/usr/local/bin`.
+**Important**: From OpenBSD 6.2 onwards a C++11-supporting clang compiler is
+part of the base image, and while building it is necessary to make sure that this
+compiler is used and not ancient g++ 4.2.1. This is done by appending
+`CC=cc CXX=c++` to configuration commands. Mixing different compilers
+within the same executable will result in linker errors.
