I also thought about adding TARGET_OBJ to it, though... I don't think there is a real need to do that, since we're ELF now and the transition to -current can be made to happen (eg take your pre-3.x system and the 3.2 release sources, do a make upgrade. From there boot a -current kernel and do a make world). However, if someone is seriously motivated to fix the aout->elf transition, go for it. Personally, I would have included backward compatibiltiy shims in libc for the signal stuff for a while, but that appears to have been hard to do...
