On m68k, COMPAT_AOUT_M68K is translating more than the pathnames of
libraries.  (It's not just COMPAT_AOUT.)

The m68k ELF ABI aligns elements of structs differently than a.out did --
meaning that a compat layer is _required_ in order to rewrite the structure
data communicated to/from userland.  Among other things, stat(2) is a very
noticeably affected syscall.  8-)
