   No, we do not _need_ to.  They are often nice to have as part of executables
   though, that way you can see exactly what codebase was used to generate the
   executable.

but in our case, we're getting the csrg id strings, not the netbsd
ones, so, we're not gaining anything except larger binaries/libraries.
