>Description:

In the kernel 4.1.1 LINT file, users can find the following help for the
USER_LDT option:

# Allow user-mode programs to manipulate their local descriptor tables.
# This option is required for the WINE Windows(tm) emulator, and is
# not used by anything else (that we know of).
#

but aviplay from the current port of avifile also needs this option to be
set. This port version does not requires Wine to installed.

>How-To-Repeat:

See LINT file for 4.1.1 kernel configuration in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
