hmm, these combined seems like an odd choice.  typically,
older compat relies upon newer comapt, except for compat_43,
which is more about enabing 4.3BSD tty and other interfaces
we have modern APIs for.

eg, it's valid to have a non netbsd comapt but compat_43
kernel running with software compiled today that uses the
old <sgtty.h> interface, for instance.  the above change
seems to imply that doing this will pull in all other
compat as well, via compat_09.
