By accident, sysinfo.gap was only generated if the "compatibility mode"
of the build system was enabled. This is currently still on by default,
but I'd like to change that in a future release of GAP. This is a first
step towards this goal.
This PR was actually motivated by the build issue with
NormalizInterface
in @stevelinton's PR #2997 -- while looking at it, I noticed that compat mode still is on, and I never formulated a roadmap for phasing it out.I'd like to backport this minor change to GAP 4.10, if nobody minds.
