What I can do, still, is removing ibcs2 from i386, and modifying the

specific, and would later allow to better compartmentalize the feature.

What about this?

Maxime

We should strive for Open standards and compatibility with Free/Open
Source ecosystem. Neither SVR3 nor SVR4 is there.

Are there any NetBSD/VAX users needing compat_ibcs2 and compat_ultrix?

I can't speak for SVR3, but I do think it happens from time to time that there are Ultrix binaries being run by some people.

Also, isn't the Ultrix compatibility also possible to use by the mips port?
