Does this mean long term Zig won’t run on OpenBSD?

Because doesn’t OpenBSD block direct syscalls & force everything to go through libc.

This affects static libc only. If you pass -dynamic -lc then the libc functions are provided by the target system. Some systems only support dynamic libc, such as macOS. I think OpenBSD actually does support static libc though.

How does that work, with syscalls being unable to be called except from the system’s libc? I’d be a bit surprised if any binary’s embedded libc would support this model.

Sorry I got mixed up with FreeBSD: https://codeberg.org/ziglang/zig/issues/30981 (original github link has more information)
