Just genunix and unix, I believe.
How much is saved when the whole kernerl with all modules gets compiled
with "-xstrconst" ?
There isn't any kernel compilation step that "compiles" kernel modules against
the kernel. The closest we have is global lint and ctf manipulation.

Erm... lets rephrase my question: What's the amount of disk space saved
in $ROOT if we recompile the usr/src/uts/ subdir with "-xstrconst"
enabled for all code in this subdir (uhm... I can't test that myself...
my machine would need around two or three days to compile such a test
run... ;-( ) ?
All that would do is make the modules eliminate duplicate strings inside
themselves, and I imagine that would not save very much.
2-3 days?? Good god, are you running Solaris thru three emulators on a 90MHz
machine? Building the entire tree, once, without lint, takes just over an hour
on any reasonably-cheap machine today...
