That may depend on what you mean by "system sources."  In particular,
some header files which are generated during the build don't live
under /usr/src/sys, they're in $OBJDIR/sys/<kernconf>/.  I was
struggling with how to include such a file (in a non-hacky way) while
building a bootloader from sys/boot/arm the other day, and I never did
come up with a clean answer.  (I do understand why -- the header files I
wanted have content that changes based on KERNCONF=, and sys/boot is
built during buildworld, not buildkernel.)
