The original idea with libcompat was to keep as few objects as
possible for linking with libsyslog. That in turn to prevent
a user of libsyslog from suddenly also getting strong binding
to symbols like strlcpy() from libsyslog, rather than their C
library of choice.
However, this caused strlcpy.c to be built as both .o and .lo
files, which in turn caused really bizarre build problems due
to bad DAG dependency.
This patch drops libcompat and instead marks all replacement APIs
as weak symbols, which a C library can override.

With `klogd` removed and the original man pages replaced with FreeBSD
versions, the only remaining GPL'ed material was the build system, which
the copyright owner (undersigned) agrees to change to BSD as well.
Hence, the GNU GPL could be dropped in favor of the 3-clause BSD.

This patch removes one of the traditionally key pieces of the sysklogd
project, klogd. Now that syslogd performs logging of kernel messages
we no longer require a separate daemon for that.

Independently of each other both the Gentoo project and Westermo found
an issue with massively parallel builds on monster-core-machines. At
Westermo there are 40 core Xeon monsters that stumble when building
sysklogd.
The Gentoo bug report is here:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/701894
The problem stems from strlcat.c and strlcpy.c being used for both
the libcompat convenience library built for libsyslog and als for
syslogd when the system does not have either of the APIs in libc,
i.e. most Linux systems with GLIBC or musl libc.
I can either rewrite the Makefile.am files to handle dependencies
better, or we just disable parallel build like this patch. There's
too few source files to gain anything from parallel build anyway.
