[Mono-dev] sgen on openbsd

[Rodrigo Kumpera]

The BSD ports are community maintained. Some progress has been made though.

OSX doesn't have __thread and sgen works on it. What we did was to reverse
engineer
how pthread_getspecific works so we could emulate __thread behavior.

It should be possible to build without this as well, performance will be
bad, but it's
probably doable. Someone just have to do it.
