You can get rid of some of them by hacking Makefiles, as you've done.
Any that are left over are fallout that should be fixed within a day
or so.  If they aren't, ask again or send a PR.  Remember that PRs or
messages are more likely to get a response if you include a typescript
of how compilation fails.

It's defined in swapnetbsd.c, which is generated by config(8).  You
need to rebuild and install config, and then reconfigure your kernel.
