    Very odd.  It should not have even tried to load the module since
    you built the driver in.

Hmm, I aware of this problem very well, although I do not have a patch for DragonFly *yet*. But I did make a patch for fixing this issue for -CURRENT.

	The problem lies in sys/kern/kern_linker.c, because error
	checking is not done in some places, or it's done incorrectly.

	http://people.freebsd.org/~hmp/patches/fix-retarded_linker.patch
