I agree with this statement, since it's clearly listed as it was compiled
FOR FreeBSD 5.3

The compatXy packages are for what I think I remember reading of kernel
system calls.  I think there's a package/port for the userland utilities
too..  misc/compat5x

However I'm a smidge confused.  The option that exists in the kernel and the
misc/compat5x port -- do they accomplish the same thing, or is it really
"kernel" and "userland" peices?
