I cant get a kernel to compile without COMPAT_AOUT:

(pro2)201}make
linking kernel.debug
imgact_gzip.o: In function `do_aout_hdr':
../../../kern/imgact_gzip.c:280: undefined reference to `aout_sysvec'
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/pro2.

Works fine if I add options COMPAT_AOUT
