Edit pycryptopp's setup.py [1], find the variable named  
"extra_link_args", and add the following line:

extra_link_args.append("-L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/amd64-unknown- 
openbsd4.6/3.3.5/fpic ")

Then see if it works.  Hey look!  You just learned Python.  :-)

After we get pycryptopp and Tahoe-LAFS building on your system then  
I'll ask you again.  At that point you shouldn't really need to do  
anything Python-specific -- you'll just run a daemon which is the  
buildbot's "buildslave".
