But it isn't installed when make bootstrap is ran. And since xinstall
uses stuff from ls and ls is depending on sys/stat.h and there wasn't
a NOUNLINK flag in previous versions of FreeBSD, the bootstrap is broken.
I think xinstall should only depend on the tree it is built in...
I do agree on the fix for netstat...(and iostat and pciconf and pstat)
