That's a good idea. We can put a printf in the kernel so everybody sees it on boot. I'll make that change, though I don't think gone_in is quite right there (I'll check before I commit). This should cover all bases. For all the utilities that are installed on all the platforms I'll do it (like I did for elf2aout), but for utilities that are only on sparc64, I have no plans to do it. They are covered by the general 'sparc64 is removed in FreeBSD 13.0'. I think this is a reasonable compromise that catches the corner cases where people are using a utility not on sparc64, but that we're removing it while saving a little bit of work which is rather tedious and error prone for a utility that one could not reasonably expect to be in 13. It's the MFC bit that makes this somewhat tedious because we normally do those days later...
