just a note that there are packages which don't build on OpenBSD due to a libtool problem.

This seems to be working now. What's not yet tested is anything other than Linux, macOS, Windows...

All is good on OpenBSD 7.3. GAP builds, semigroups package builds, most tests in TestPackage("semigroups"); pass.

I think this should be mentioned in the release notes as it is quite relevant for downstream packagers

(well ideally it is transparent for them, but I think it's good to make sure they are aware as it could cut down debugging time if anything breaks, and they might be able to get rid of some libtool specific adjustments etc.)

Started a run of the package distro test suite at https://github.com/gap-system/PackageDistro/actions/runs/7589464817

That package distro CI run failed due to the scripts there not being ready to deal with branches containing a slash... So I made gap-system/PackageDistro#877 and based on that started this test run which shows that all packages still pass with this PR here, yay!
