God, why?!?  COMPAT_LINUX works on my latest -current, and I'm not going to
change that.

Like with any other modules, it's really up to the individual to decide
whether he/she wants it compiled in statically, or loaded dynamically -
there's no "official method"!  A lot of things exist in both static and
dynamic versions, and ports shouldn't break because they expect something to
be one way or the other.
