FWIW, many components in uts make use of libgenunix (as well is
items in usr/src/common), but don't have the rules to build it. I
usually suggest doing a make in uts before changing any code, as it
verifies that all the dependancies are available and properly build.
Then if there are build failures after modifying code, it must be
related to the changes.
