[plt-scheme] v300 on OpenBSD

Removed foreign, and the build went okay, up 'till the usual hang. So  
looks like libffi and co. are out of the question.

Do people have any pointers as to where I should go poking around, or  
how to even begin debugging this? In particular, knowing how to  
execute in isolation whatever's going on in:

setup-plt: Compiling .zos used by Parser-tools
setup-plt:   in /root/tmp/plt/collects/parser-tools/

would be useful, so that I don't have to run ./install each time. I  
took a quick glance through the setup .ss files, but it didn't seem  
obvious.

Cheers,

-Patrick
