>Description:
	BSDi binaries need some NetBSD-1.3 syscalls, which are no longer
	present in NetBSD-1.4 - the one i run to is compat_13_sigaction13()
>How-To-Repeat:
	create kernel with COMPAT_NOMID & COMPAT_43 only and watch BSDi
	binaries fail
>Fix:
	nothing available right now

	As kern/6872 suggested already, there should be separate COMPAT_BSDI
	flag, which would pull in bits necessary for proper BSDi emulation.
	COMPAT_NOMID is NOT sufficient. As a wery minimum, there should
	be some note in GENERIC config file about that BSDi needs
	COMPAT_13
