*_p.a are profiling libraries, which you probably disabled by adding
NOPROFILE=YES to /etc/make.conf.  You can safely remove them.

Old libisc from BIND 8.  BIND 9 doesn't use it, but some ports may
want it.  You should keep it around until those ports are fixed.

This library has been renamed.  You can remove it.

> /lib/geom/geom_nop.so.1
> /lib/geom/geom_stripe.so.1

You can remove these.

Do *not* remove this, or you will be very sorry you did.  It is normal
for ld-elf.so.1 to have a timestamp older than your latest build,
because installworld only installs a new ld-elf.so.1 if it differs
from the old one.
