OpenBSD ln and install do not have -v flag

[dontlaugh]

System Details

• OpenBSD 7.5 GENERIC.MP#138 arm64
• oils-for-unix release tarball 0.21.0

The Problem

Neither ln nor the install utility have a -v flag on OpenBSD.

This had consequences for the ./install script, for example here:

https://github.com/oilshell/oil/blob/master/install#L93

And also in the generated build script _build/oils.sh, down at the bottom. Ninja generates it in ShellFunctions

https://github.com/oilshell/oil/blob/master/build/ninja_main.py#L229

Thanks for the report! This shouldn't be too hard to fix

This is now fixed, you can test a tarball from the CI

http://travis-ci.oilshell.org/github-jobs/6794/cpp-tarball.wwz/_release/oils-for-unix.tar

Thanks for testing!

Success!

I have a script that collects these for release notes, so it's OK to leave it open for now

thanks for testing!
