Obviously, that should be "if vax; then" rather than with the test
brackets, but otherwise I think Steve McKinty has a very good point.

How many bytes are saved by removing these aliases for /usr/bin/false?

Nit: they're links to /usr/bin/i286, which is an instance of
machid.c:

============================================================
#       List of all links present on all architectures and machines.
#
#       Note that this function is obsolesent and we don't generally
#       add to this list (see psarc/1992/171).
#
FIRSTLINK =     i286
LINKS =         i386 i486 i860 i86pc iAPX286 \
                m68k mc68000 mc68010 mc68020 mc68030 mc68040 \
                sparc sun sun2 sun3 sun3x sun4 sun4c sun4m sun4d sun4e \
                u370 u3b u3b15 u3b2 u3b5 vax pdp11

ROOTFIRSTLINK = $(ROOTBIN)/$(FIRSTLINK)
ROOTLINKS =     $(LINKS:%=$(ROOTBIN)/%)

#
#     Install the program as the first machine in the list.
#
============================================================

A look at the SCCS history for the file shows that it has not
been touched since 1994.
