i get the following (plus more similar) error/s

	@/sys/bus.h:456:23: device_if.h: No such file or directory

even when setting the SYSDIR to "/usr/src/sys".  perhaps i'm missing
something about the "wrap setting SYSDIR in an include file" to make
it work???

if i understand correctly it's looking for the kernel architecture
files from the kernel build (i.e in the 'obj' directory).

apologies if i'm being braindamaged here.
