On IRC, someone suggested I post it on the forum instead of opening a bug report, so here it is.
Trying to compile VirtualBox 4.1.0 with --disable-kmods, the build fails with
kmk: *** No rule to make target `/home/fredlwm/tmp/objdir/out/linux.amd64/release/lib/SUPR0IdcClient.a', needed by `/home/fredlwm/tmp/objdir/out/linux.amd64/release/obj/VBoxPci/vboxpci.ko'. Stop.
Removing --disable-kmods from configure makes the build succeed.
Is this a bug or just me ?

Re: 4.1.0 fails to compile with --disable-kmods ?
The rules were made using kmod. The --disable-kmods are for internal use (developer) only.
If you want to compile without you would need to edit the compile rules.
If I might ask why are you wanting to try to build without the kernel modules and what do you hope to achieve?

If I'm not mistaken, I only started to use --disable-kmods because, at least once, the produced modules without it were unusable (wouldn't load), while those compiled issuing a make in /opt/VirtualBox/src always worked.
