I have a thread in stable called ' kldstat causes kernel to print odd
message' (not the best subject since it's wrong AND undescriptive),
message ID is 200801171410.38488.doconnor@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

It is printed whenever a kernel module is loaded.
The modules load OK. Nothing special or different about them.

It seems to be harmless, but any idea why it's started happening
since the release?

It is printed by sys/kern/link_elf.c - amd64 uses this for historical
reasons.

The issue is that it is being called before the stuff in link_elf_obj.c
and printing an error, the kernel then tries _obj and it works.

I tried #ifdef'ing out link_elf.c but it panicd my machine on boot and I
haven't had time to find out why.

The kernel is a link_elf type object I believe, so you have to have it.
