I got a reply from someone pointing out that it would not even work when
I have some additional compat options defined:

: exec_nomid is defined in src/sys/arch/i386/i386/machdep.c.  It is
: static there (and has been for a long time) so I don't see how this
: could have ever worked.  (check-ksyms.sh uses nm to look at /netbsd
: and static symbols won't show up.)

And got another hint from the same person how to work around this problem:

: Until this gets fixed, you should be able to get the Linux version
: using:
:  
:   make EMUL_PLATFORM=linux-i386 update
:  
: in pkgsrc/archivers/rar.  At least it works here.

Which works for me too.

P.S. Sorry for the tone, but I was frustrated that it didn't work anymore.
And sorry Johnny that you got my first mail twice, but I missed one char
when I added the mailing list address.
