I would work backwards from one of the prints you are not seeing.

One way to work out the issue is to directly check the missing prints 
statements in the module of code. If you add '--show-commands' to the 
waf configure command line the commands used to build the code are 
printed. If you then change in to the build directory, cut and paste the 
command to build the source you are interested and add '-save-temps' you 
will get the pre-processed output. Check the .i file and if there are no 
print statements you know a define controlling it is missing. You will 
then need to track the headers to find it. Once found add the option to 
the '--freebsd-options' list.

Note, if you create an error in the source, eg add 'x' anywhere, the 
build will stop on the file of interest. This speeds up getting to the 
command line you are interested in. Remove the error once you have the 
command.

I tend to try and boot FreeBSD if possible and check the messages and 
what is detected match. I am doing this on the Beckhoff PC hardware at 
the moment.
