No, you need to:

That's not quite what I said.  Did you actually run "config KERNELNAME"
again?  That's the program that generates all the opt_*.h files.

If you run "config KERNELNAME" and you still don't get a opt_compat_aout.h,
your sources may have caught sup in the middle of changes; try re-supping.
