Looks like you tried to build a current kernel under a release version
of FreeBSD.  This fails because of spelling changes in binutils.  The
target was spelled elf32-i386 but it is now spelled elf32-i386-freebsd.
So old binutils can't link current kernels and current binutils can't
link old kernels.
