 * XFree86 has only releases to consider and 3.0 will be ELF so it is safe IMO 
 * to assume that "objformat" will return "elf". Anyway, when you run an ELF
 * FreeBSD, __ELF__ is defined by the preprocessor...
 * 
 * Supporting both 3.0/aout and 3.0/ELF may be too complicated.

No.  3.0/aout has to be supported.

The major issue here is whether the system is elf or aout.  I don't
think the release level ("2.X" or "3.0" matters much).
