/usr/bin/lint - bitrot?

Is /usr/bin/lint still useful to anyone? Here, even the simplest of
C programs does not parse without errors:

$ cat null.c 
int main(void) { return 0; }

$ lint null.c
null.c:
lint: cannot find llib-lc.ln
Lint pass2:

$ uname -r
9.1-RC2

I'm not sure how to generate llib-lc.ln. Evidently this issue has
existed for at least 12 years if I'm reading this PR correctly:
