Due to the lack of resources, porters are not able to verify the correctness of a port across all platforms supported by OpenBSD, however, some ports:
  • have been designated to work only on specific platforms.
  • are marked as broken on specific platforms limiting how where they can be built.
As examples:
  • databases/riak will build only on amd64.
  • databases/mongodb is marked broken on all platforms following the rthread library change introduced in OpenBSD 5.2 I believe.

Maybe is time to change the hardware (but this don't solve the problem of a package broken???)
I don't know if the problems you are experiencing are specific to the Loongson port of OpenBSD. The Loongson port is one of the newest in OpenBSD's history, so there may be issues. Does Chinese character input (as mentioned in other threads...) work on other OpenBSD supported architectures? I don't know.
