I doubt it matters. If it uses "legacy" 4.3 interfaces, it will only run
on a kernel which was compiled with COMPAT_43.

Like if it needs /usr/include/sys/ioctl_compat.h or uses (I think) the
creat syscall or the like.

It can very well be that that xterm has since been modified to not need
it. I haven't tried and there certainly was time when COMPAT_43 was needed
for it (in 2.1 timeframe).
