Right, put OBJFORMAT=aout BINFORMAT=aout in the environment to build
kernels for the time being.

You are.  I remember that in trying to solve problem 1, you had put
OBJFORMAT=aout into /etc/objformat.  Are you sure you remembered to
take it out again?

Execute "/usr/bin/objformat" and it should say "elf".  If it doesn't,
then either /etc/objformat is wrong, or you've got OBJFORMAT set to
aout in your environment.
