Add COMPAT4X=true to your make.conf.  We added __stdoutp etc to RELENG_4
and included it in the last two releases.  -current's COMPAT4X stuff
has the updated libc.so.4 with these symbols.

If you want to run 4.x binaries, you need COMPAT4X=true so that we can
update the 4.x compatability libraries over time.

Cheers,
-Peter
