In at least a significant number of these cases, the "old binaries"
would be 4.3 binaries on a VAX.  Look at rev. 1.1 of syscalls.master
and notice how many of them were already marked COMPAT in 4.4-Lite.  I
believe creat, wait, sigvec, sigblock, sigsetmask, and killpg were
also COMPAT_43 in Net/2.  creat() has never been a syscall in the
entire life of FreeBSD, but we're still carrying around the code to
implement it for "compatibility" with old VAX binaries.
