Compiles cleany on OpenBSD -current amd64 (what will be 5.6). With the
default system gcc 4.2.1 the CPUID and AESNI compiler features are not
supported.

When compiled with gcc 4.8.2 from ports, both are supported and here is
the resulting cpusupport-config.h:

#define CPUSUPPORT_X86_CPUID
#define CPUSUPPORT_X86_AESNI
#ifdef cpusupport_dummy
export CFLAGS_X86_AESNI="-maes"
#endif

Hopes this helps
