                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-current isnt yet ready for elf-buildworlds unless you know what you're 
doing. A message by Lee Cremeans popped up directly after yours where he 
described the same failure point in his attempts to compile an elf-world.

Remove the BINFORMAT=ELF and you should be able to bootstrap up to 
current using the age-old aout format (and then convert to elf down the 
track when support becomes finalized)
