From /sys/i386/conf/NOTES:

#
# Implement system calls compatible with 4.3BSD and older versions of
# FreeBSD.  You probably do NOT want to remove this as much current code
# still relies on the 4.3 emulation.

options         COMPAT_43

Usually when testing a kernel compile, GENERIC is the kernel to test.
If your changes are intrusive enough, you might also want to make sure
that LINT builds ok.  The LINT config file is generated from NOTES by
typing 'make LINT' in /sys/i386/conf/.
