I would like to spend some time going through Makefile.inc1 (and possibly elsewhere) to get a better sense of what is actually needed. For example, we should probably be using some flavor of KERNSRCDIR which is related to SYSDIR. I haven't had a chance to sit down and build a picture of how these pieces all fit together. Alternately, I could backport the patches from upstream's git master to use bsd.kmod.mk for the kernel build, which eliminates most of these issues. But I think it is probably simpler to not have to maintain those patches until there is a 1.8-series release, which I expect will be several years. -Ben Kaduk
