>Description:
The handbook currently incorrectly suggests you can specify module subdirectories in WITHOUT_MODULES. See the second tip on this page:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html
This is incorrect because the WITHOUT_MODULES logic in /usr/src/sys/modules/Makefile will only exclude items in the original SUBDIRS list. Only the top level module directories are included in this list.
>How-To-Repeat:
Add the following to your /etc/make.conf:
WITHOUT_MODULES=sound/driver/emu10k1
Build the kernel and see the emu10k1 module get built anyway.
