Hmm.. quite off-topic, but - is this so on -current? (I'll be able to
test this in a matter of hours, refetching my -current source tree)
It most definitely is NOT correct for 4-stable - the kernel build
requires 'nm' (IIRC) from /usr/obj; if not 'nm', then something else
from the build toolchain.
G'luck,
