 This is some sort of user error and a problematic bug report as well.
 
 First.. please don't use pastebin type things that expire.  When the
 context goes away in 31 days, the bug report becomes meaningless and
 loses its search reference value.  In a month or two, somebody might
 have the same problem and if there's a documented solution here then
 the search engines will never find the context to give them the
 solution.
 
 Second..   The last error you hit was:
 ld  -d -warn-common -r -d -o aac.ko.debug aac.o aac_pci.o aac_disk.o aac_ca=
 m.o
 -L VERSION -g -o aac.ko.debug aac.o aac_pci.o aac_disk.o aac_cam.o
 -L:No such file or directory
 
 The only things that look like that are in share/mk/sys.mk:
 # C Type Format data is required for DTrace
 CTFFLAGS        ?=3D      -L VERSION"
 
 And that's used with a SYSTEM_CTFMERGE in the kernel makefiles.
 
 So, what you've done is partially disabled dtrace or CDDL or the CTF
 flags.  Or you've got a stale /usr/obj/* tree.  Or got stray, stale
 build files in your source tree.
 
 This is an environmental issue on your end in some way.  (I don't mean
 the $ENV variables.. It is something else.)
