No they are not ATT code, they are missing as part of the port from
the VAX and/or Tahoe.  The symbols that are missing are for the 
interrupt counters and the names of the interupts.  Since a lot of
changes occured in this are these cousters look differect under 386BSD.

I have a version of vmstat (and also iostat) that works.  It does not
handle the disk counters yet (still need to hake up that part of
names.c).

I well try and work up a patch kit for what I have done to make them
work.  (You out there Terry).  It is not real nice, but it does work.
