kernel and world are from r331370.

kernel config file contains

options         COMPAT_LINUX32
options         COMPAT_LINUXKPI
options         LINPROCFS

When booting, the kernel tries to load the module.  A manual
loading of the module results in

% kldload /boot/kernel/linux64.ko
kldload: an error occurred while loading module /boot/kernel/linux64.ko.
Please check dmesg(8) for more details.
sleepdirt:fvwm:root[203] dmesg | tail -2
link_elf_obj: symbol elf64_linux_vdso_fixup undefined
linker_load_file: /boot/kernel/linux64.ko - unsupported file type

Now, that I look at /sys/amd64/conf/NOTES again, I find that
there is a COMPAT_LINUX as well as the COMPAT_LINUX32.  I must
have conflated that two options into being the same thing.

I have to update the system for the recent security announcement,
so I update everything and change my kernel config file.
