The compat distributions only install the dynamic libraries for you.
You also need the static libs to compile aout. You can either grab
these from a running 2.2.x system, or untar the lib distribution from
a 2.2.8 CD into /usr/lib/compat/aout. The lib dist is
`/cdrom/bin/bin.??' (on a 2.2.8 cdrom anyway). It's one big tar file
broken into smaller chunks, so you have to cat it together before
untarring it. Try something like:

  cat /cdrom/bin/bin.?? | tar xzpf - -C /tmp 'usr/lib/*'
  for lib in `find /tmp/usr/lib -type f`; do
      if ! test -f /usr/lib/compat/aout/`basename $lib`; then
          cp -p $lib /usr/lib/compat/aout/
      fi
  done
  rm -rf /tmp/usr

You may need to rerun ldconfig at this point, but I could be
mistaken. If you can afford it, a reboot isn't a bad idea, as the rc
files call ldconfig for you at boot time with the correct paths.

good luck.

p.s. i think freebsd-questions may be a better forum for these types
     of questions
