/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KERNEL/{at,u}kbdmap.h er both empty.

The problem seems to be related to kbdcontrol.

kbdcontrol(8) is run as /usr/sbin/kbdcontrol -L ${ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP} 
and as /usr/sbin/kbdcontrol -L ${UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP}, during 
buildkernel.

The option -L, unlike option -l (lowercase ell), does not search the 
normal directories, e.g. /usr/share/syscons/keymaps.

By removing {at,u}kbdmap.h from /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KERNEL and 
changing to

options		ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP
makeoptions	ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=/usr/share/syscons/keymaps/norwegian.iso.kbd

options		UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP
makeoptions	UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=/usr/share/syscons/keymaps/norwegian.iso.kbd

I got rid of any error messages and had a successful kernel build.

Option 1: Fix kbdcontrol(8) and its mishandling of the -L option.
Option 2: Use absolute paths in the kernel config files.
