See if /etc/objformat exists. It probably doesn't. Create it with something
like this:

echo "OBJFORMAT=elf" > /etc/objformat

This should make the default object/binary format elf, which is what it
should be for the SNAPS, because they are elf systems. Our release build
system does not put it in yet... I think.
