Do you mean without "makeoptions DEBUG=-g" or without "options
USB_DEBUG"?  Or something else?

I didn't have hw.usb.debug or hw.usb.xhci.debug set > 0 when I

I suspect that adding evdev support was at least partly
responsible for preventing the keyboard from disappearing.  I
didn't have it in my old custom config, but it's in the new one
and I don't have a problem with the keyboard failing now.
