That is needed for an elf kernel later.

The problem at the moment is that the kernel build is not putting
OBJFORMAT=aout into the environment for the tools to see, so they
follow what the system is installed as (i.e. /etc/objformat).

As jdp pointed out, the -aout switches passed to objformat would
solve this, but I was hoping to be able to remove the code in objformat
that knows about specific object formats so that it could be used
for cross compilation.
