The question is *why*.  Some quality time with Google came up
with the following insights:

  http://www.mail-archive.com/xfree86@xfree86.org/msg00452.html

So, it was added to the module build when it was found that the
modules wouldn't load at all without it.  I have no explanation
for why our native build doesn't seem to be affected.  However,
in theory, a NetBSD built module should be capable of being
loaded by the Xserver on any OS, so we should probably do it for
all the modules, to be safe.
