OpenBSD was changed so that syscalls can only be made by libc. However
some software (especially software written in Go) still relies on being
able to call syscalls directly from the main program and this will no
longer run on OpenBSD.

One of the go modules used by influxdb is an old version of bbolt.
This problem is fixed in an update to bbolt, but even the most recent
influxdb release (2.7.6) still uses an old bbolt from before the fix.

Some other modules may have a problem too (influxdb uses
modernc.org/sqlite which definitely used syscall in some use cases; I'm
unsure if that got fixed or whether influxdb's use of it triggers those
cases).

I'm not too familiar with influxdb but it seems bolt/bbolt is a required
part of it, so I think we might as well mark it broken for now, it's not
going to magically start working unless changes are made.
