from /usr/src/Makefile:

#
# Unless -DNOAOUT is specified, a `make world' with OBJFORMAT=elf will
# update the legacy support for aout. This includes all libraries, ld.so
# and boot objects. This part of build should be regarded as
# deprecated and you should _not_ expect to be able to do this past the
# release of 3.1. You have exactly one major release to move entirely
# to elf.
