Indeed. If we have a toolchain in pkgsrc (or some commparable easy setup)
and a test suite, we can build more trust for some compat feature.

This is quite easy for the COMATP_NETBSD_$N options, but extremely hard for
others. We should get this going for some COMATP_NETBSD_$N and COMPAT_LINUX
at least (and maybe make it a QA requirement to keep such options alive
or add new ones).

Btw: I find it very strange that this proposal has no concrete proposal.
What compat options exactly do you want to disallow from auto loading?
What exact sysctls and semantics do you have in mind?
