Several people responded. Appearently /usr/sys/BINARY/files has a
redundant definition for the 'ee' module. Deleting the lines
(leaving the file empty), and then redoing 'doconfig' solved the
problem.
Originally I got the following errors, when compiling the kernel:
> Configuration file has errors.
> /usr/sys/BINARY/files: Local file MODULE/STATIC/ee overrides ee.
> Error: module ee already exists
Here's one of the responses.
