Just as a BTW for people watching from the side, I have been running a pure-elf -current system for nearly a year. The system is completely functional and can generate and run both a.out and elf executables (shared and dynamic) at the drop of a hat. All that is really missing is a 3 stage boot so that we can squeeze in code for loading the elf symbol table on an elf kernel. Presently the BAD144 support has to go to make room, since there are *zero* bytes free at the moment. I've been using both elf and a.out kernels over the last year, a.out kernels are needed for ddb's symbol functions at present.
