 OpenBSD 3.3 system.  I am able to get libol and syslog-ng built just fine.  However, I'm noticing that BSD's syslogd creates /dev
/log upon initiation and tears it down during shutdown.  I saw the patch for casting (void *) NULL in af_program.c in the ports tr

Your best bet is to use the port or a binary package and mail the
MAINTAINER <jakob@openbsd.org> if you have problems with it or additions
to it.

He is quite thorough and responsive, so there may be a reason it isn't
already incorporated.
