Looks like all the previous hints have not been clear enough.
There is no direct relation between COMPAT_FREEBSD8 and misc/compat8x.
COMPAT_FREEBSD<X> options are only needed when going from release X to release X+1
there was a change to an existing system call at the kernel-userland boundary.
A side note: kernel options affect only what's in the kernel, quite obviously.
misc/compat<X>x contains versions of shared libraries from release X that are no
longer present in X+1.
