No, it is commented out in the kernel config file. That error occurs when using the CURRENT
system's compiler building the nanoBSD binaries.

I tried to put the option 

WITHOUT_MODULE="an"

into the nanoBSD sections building world/installing world as initially described - but without
any effect. To be honest, at this moment I'm stuck with the error reported above in building
world preventing me proceeding to buildkernel.

Well, I live my freeBSD life under the impression using 

WITHOUT_SYSTEM_{COMPILER|LINKER}

gives me a full cross-compiler environment putting myself in the position compiling 13-STABLE
with a bootstrapped/self hosted compiler for the build of 13-STABLE. But this seems not the
whole truth ...

NanoBSD has a kind of "merged" src.conf/make.conf and it is sometimes obscure to figure out
from the outside what is used from the NanoBSD config to feed both make.conf and src.conf
during a buildworld/buildkernel.
