I assume you rebuilt the kernel & userland with gcc 4.2 as opposed to using the default gcc 3.3.5.

OpenBSD is vetted & built with gcc 3.3.5 which is installed by the comp43.tgz file set. To date, I am not aware that building the system is fully sanctioned with version 4.2. Since all packages are built with version 3.3.5, Version differences would account for why you are no longer able to use version 4.2; both the code & layout of resulting binaries are different between 3.3.5 & 4.2.

Likewise, while I don't see any fundamental differences between the information provided at the following:

...& Section 5 of the FAQ:

http://openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html

I would recommend that you stay with information provided officially by the project itself as opposed to relying on third party sites.
