Sysinstall was modified to create /usr/compat and symlink it into /
for new installs on July 16th:

revision 1.193
date: 1997/07/16 11:45:48;  author: jkh;  state: Exp;  lines: +5 -1
ln /compat to /usr/compat on initial installation; this will
prevent the later addition of compat libs from overflowing /
