That last sentence sounds ominous.  Are you saying that when I'm on my
amd64 machine building from /my/sources/rpi using TARGET_ARCH=armv6
it's going to find /usr/local/sys/modules/drm-current-kmod and try to
crossbuild it for armv6?

How about when I'm doing a build of 11-stable for testing, but what's
in my /usr/local is sources for a 13-current driver?
