I'm not sure I completely understand your question, but I will
try to answer it.

A bug in our make(1) has been fixed, kmod.mk now depends on this
bug fixed, hence we need to update make(1) before using the new
kmod.mk.  -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE does the trick.  I personally have
the ALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE set in /etc/make.conf on all my -CURRENT
machines, but YMMV.
