Oh, forgot to mention:

Since sysctl and <sys/sysctl.h> are thoroughly deprecated, we really should
not have them in linux/Makefile where new ports get them by default.  I
think the right (enough) thing to do is move their additions to
linux/sysctl.mk and have each linux/machine/Makefile for a machine that has
an existing abilist containing sysctl include that file explicitly.


Thanks,
Roland
