instructions a lot.

-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.

 It is recommended to use Berkeley DB 4.8. You cannot use the BerkeleyDB library
 from ports, for the same reason as boost above (g++/libstd++ incompatibility).
