Stop.

The problem seems to be that libkern.[ao] is built to wrong place:

(/usr/src/sys/lib/libkern/Makefile.inc)

#       Configuration variables (default values are below):
#
#       S       must be set to the top of the 'sys' tree.
#       KERNDST may be set to the location of the directory where library
#               objects are to be built.  Defaults to ${.OBJDIR}/lib/kern.
#       KERN_AS may be set to 'obj' to build a object from the library's
#               object files.  (Otherwise, a library will be built.)
#               Defaults to 'library'.
#       KERNMISCCPPFLAGS
#               Miscellaneous cpp flags to be passed to the library's Makefile
#               when building.
#       KERNMISCMAKEFLAGS
#               Miscellaneous flags to be passed to the library's Makefile when
#               building.  See library's Makefile for more details about
#               supported flags and their default values.

# Default values:
KERNDST?=       ${.OBJDIR}/lib/kern
KERN_AS?=       library

KERNDIR=        $S/lib/libkern
.if (${KERN_AS} == "obj")
KERNLIB=        ${KERNDST}/libkern.o
KERNLIB_PROF=   ${KERNDST}/libkern.po
.else
KERNLIB=        ${KERNDST}/libkern.a
KERNLIB_PROF=   ${KERNDST}/libkern_p.a
.endif

The Makefile generates the libkern.[ao] to KERNDIR, while Makefiles using this
seem to expect it to be built to KERNDST derived from .OBJDIR.
I'm not quite sure how the Makefiles should be here.

>How-To-Repeat:

try make build or making kernels.  It might work for DESTDIR=/, but I do not dare
to try it before I can get it built with something else as DESTDIR.
