I can see where you are coming from, but the freebsd one is basically a  
copy of
the linux one with OS-specific modifications too. So you can make the  
argument
that there should be only one, with lots of ifdef's - but that's very ugly  
and I
like chrome's approach of having different _os.c files.

There are some significant differences between freebsd and openbsd in this  
file,
for example the lack of ucontext. Also a lot of the mmap/mprotect magic  
will be
different, because OpenBSD has W^X (where no page can be writable and  
executable
at the same time, as a security measure). The difference between the two  
files
may seem minor right now, but that's because several of the openbsd  
functions
are UNIMPLEMENTED();, I just wanted to get further before spending  
significant
time on flushing out this file, but there is more work to be done.

Did I mention I hate ifdef's? :) But it's up to you guys to decide in the  
end.
