Log Message:
After a careful review, and all things considered, disable compat43 by
default on amd64. The use case is limited, the potential for damage too
high, and it is safer to run a BSD4.3 binary on i386 since the kernel does
not have to go through netbsd32 - which may not correctly reproduce i386.

Should COMPAT43 also be removed from the default build of compat module?

See line #26 in src/sys/modules/netbsd/Makefile
