>Description:

You can run 32bit NetBSD binaries on amd64 by using a kernel that is built
with COMPAT_NETBSD32 (like GENERIC). But for binaries from netbsd-9 or older,
this relies on the compat_netbsd32_16 module to be present to handle the
old signal context.

When you run a kernel without the older COMPAT options, you don't expect older
compat modules to be loaded. If you use a !INSECURE kernel, autoloading the
modules will also fail, leading to strange failures (e.g.  python3.1.2 failing
to build).

Modules loaded because of compat_netbsd32_16 requirement.

Option COMPAT_90 should be sufficient to build a kernel that supports netbsd-9
binaries, including 32bit ones. It shouldn't silently include alsmost all
old compat code.

>How-To-Repeat:

Run netbsd-9/i386 binaries on a amd64 system (-10 or -current) without COMPAT_16.
