 CFLAGS=" -g -O0" ./configure --with-libevent-dir=/home/SCRUBBED/lib
 --prefix=/ --enable-static-tor fails with
 {{{
 checking for libevent directory... configure: WARNING: Could not find a
 linkable libevent.  If you have it installed somewhere unusual, you can
 specify an explicit path using --with-libevent-dir
 }}}
 Looking at the config.log we see:
 {{{
 configure:6383: gcc -o conftest  -g -O0 -static -I/home/irene/lib
 -I${top_srcdir}/src/common -L/home/SCRUBBED/lib  conftest.c -lpthread
 -levent  -lrt   >&5
 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lrt
 }}}
 which causes the error, because there isn't a librt on openbsd. Indeed,
 removing the " -lrt" in configure makes all work.
 {{{
 STATIC_LIBEVENT_FLAGS=""
 if test "$enable_static_libevent" = "yes"; then
     if test "$have_rt" = yes; then
       STATIC_LIBEVENT_FLAGS=" -lrt"
     fi
 fi
 }}}
