The modules are not being built at all with a kernel build because they are 
not being found by the build script.  I have this problem on both my amd64 
and arm computers.  I just performed a fresh checkout of my source tree and 
compared the location of the urtwn and urtwnfw files on my FreeBSD 10 Release 
and FreeBSD 11 computers.  I am including the logs from the run on the amd4 
computer because it builds faster than my BeagleBone.  The results are the 
same.
