There is a simple way to determine that.

remove the files, if something breaks, determine what is broken, aka.
what component is trying to load those files, fix that component, those
files arent really supposed to be used in a modern OS.

We almost managed to get rid of them distro wide, it was painful (read:
my email inbox contained lots of "hey you broke something else, &%$#/$"
;) ) but I think it was worth the effort.
