From the directory structure and filenames, "ucp" appears to be nearly identical to "ucom", and the src/sys/modules/ucp/Makefile is identical to the one for ucom (except it points to ucp.c instead of ucom.c, of course), but I still get: cd /usr/src/sys/modules; MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC/modules KMODDIR=/boot/kernel MODULES_OVERRIDE="ucp" DEBUG_FLAGS="-g" MACHINE=amd64 KERNBUILDDIR="/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC" make depend "/usr/src/share/mk/bsd.subdir.mk", line 84: warning: duplicate script for target "files" ignored "/usr/src/share/mk/bsd.subdir.mk", line 84: warning: duplicate script for target "includes" ignored @ -> /usr/src/sys machine -> /usr/src/sys/amd64/include make: don't know how to make ucp.c.
