sys/modules was always a temporary hack, which is why we have gone to a lot
of trouble to not put source code or other files in there.  I have a patch
that uses a unified build mechanism so that we avoid the duplicate
building.  It builds modules and kernel at the same time.  The unified build
is working, but not quite right yet.

Cheers,
