Meli fails to build on OpenBSD for at least two reasons.

1 - rust-openssl does not yet support LibreSSL 3.2.2 - see 
https://github.com/sfackler/rust-openssl/pull/1366 . This would probably 
be fixed by building on an earlier version of OpenBSD, like 6.7.

2 (more fundamental) - The create_timer(2) syscall, used in Meli's 
PosixTimer, does not exist on OpenBSD.

Possible solutions would be (a) find a timer implementation that works 
on OpenBSD, or (b) put all usage of timers behind a feature flag (I'm 
not familiar enough with the Meli codebase to know whether this is 
feasible).

Hallo, thank you for reporting this. I've pushed a complete removal of posix timers [0] and I was able to build meli on 6.8 with TLS disabled through feature flags.
