Because any program that used an a.out libgnumalloc was built in FreeBSD 1.* days (libgnumalloc was made static a *LONG* time ago), and any new programs wouldn't need a non-existant shlib. The same can be said of all of the other compat libraries, which are for *old* binaries from older FreeBSD releases. There are no 'old' FreeBSD releases that have 'old' ELF shared libraries.
