Guessing the files in question (libbind9.a, libbind9.so, libbind9_p.a,
libirs.a, &c.) are missing a `compatfile' tag in comp/mi.

Quoting from bsd.own.mk:

	#
	# What binutils is used?
	#
	HAVE_BINUTILS?= 242

I think we should just nix the binutils=234 line (every platform is on
2.42 in 11, 2.46 in HEAD) and make the obsolete line unconditional.

Do you have the manhtml set installed?  If you had this file from the
man set a long time ago, and you never installed the manhtml set, the
obsolete entry will never apply.  The obsolete system has no way to
handle moving files from one set to another.

Yes.  Go for it!
