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
