I tried to build -current tonight with the following
uncommented in /etc/make.conf:
#
# If you want the "compat" shared libraries installed as part of your normal
# builds, uncomment these:
#
#COMPAT1X= yes
#COMPAT20= yes
#COMPAT21= yes
#COMPAT22= yes
#COMPAT3X= yes
#
and it didn't work, so I re-commented them.
Probably no point in having them anyway.
