As of yesterday (99/05/20), there still seems to be a problem when doing
a "buildworld/installworld" w/ COMPAT22=YES however...

I sucked down the compat22 distball, and it worked, but a build w/
COMPAT22=YES didn't.  The only difference seems to be the presence
of /usr/lib/exec/ld.so.  All the other aout compatibility libraries/files
seem to be there, but ld.so is missing...
