It shouldn't matter if libc already has strtofflags().  strtofflags is not
in the POSIX namespace and our libc and headers don't have any pollution
;-);-).  (Actually, strtofflags is in the (reserved) ISO namespace and thus
in the (reserved) POSIX namespace, especially since xinstall.c includes
<string.h> and it's already a bug that strtofflags in in <unistd.h>.)
Single-module checkout is already broken in hundreds of other places, so
I don't much mind one more (it's broken almost everywhere that uses .PATH,
in particular in all Makefiles for contrib'ed programs).

No problem.  That mistake is not used much outside of /sys :-).
(We've still got ifdefs to support RELENG_2_2 using it :-().

Ugh.  This is even worse than using __FreeBSD_version.  It is broken
for non-FreeBSD hosts.  Hmm, this case is broken in my version too.
Non-FreeBSD hosts might not have have FreeBSD file flags, so they might
not have the definitions of the magic numbers necessary for strtofflags.c
to compile; they might not even have the necessary headers.  It is
unreasonable to expect the target source strtofflags.c to be compilable
in the host environment.  The correct fix is to not support file flags in
the bootstrap version of install.

Better to leave it out.

No, this only detects the presence of libmd, not of the necessary
functions.  Something like autoconfig would be needed to detect the
presence and non-brokenness of the necessary functions, but it shouldn't
be necessary to go there.
