Should be. If you build a custom kernel, be sure to leave all the
COMPAT_* options in, that are in the default, generic kernel. Note that
you won't be able to build ELF binaries against a.out shared libraries,
so if you do have to build something ELF, you'll need to build all the
pre-requisites, too.
