That was what Berkeley intended when they did this, if you have doubts go
read /usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile, targets libkern:, libkern.gen, and
libkern.${MACHINE}... the one of real interest here is:
libkern.gen: ${KQSRCS} ${KSRCS}
cp -p ${.CURDIR}/quad/quad.h ${.ALLSRC} /sys/libkern
And KQSRCS and KSRCS are:
KQSRCS= adddi3.c anddi3.c ashldi3.c ashrdi3.c cmpdi2.c divdi3.c iordi3.c \
lshldi3.c lshrdi3.c moddi3.c muldi3.c negdi2.c notdi2.c qdivrem.c \
subdi3.c ucmpdi2.c udivdi3.c umoddi3.c xordi3.c
KSRCS= bcmp.c ffs.c index.c mcount.c rindex.c strcat.c strcmp.c strcpy.c \
strlen.c strncpy.c
inet_ntoa.c was recently added by Garrett, who probably did not know to
go update these unused rules in libc/Makefile. It also appears
that Garrett wrote they one in libkern from scratch and is claiming
copy right on it, and from looking at the two he has a right to that
copyright.
