Didn't do a config -r, but did do a "make clean" after I started getting "cannot load bioscall.o" errors at the last stage of "make". After that "make clean", a "make" did produce an elf executable. This is after, though, I changed "KERNFORMAT? = aout" to "... = elf" in /sys/i386/conf/Makefile.i386 to see if that made a difference, since I noticed that the same line was in /sys/i386/compile/pez/Makefile. I've switched it back to "aout", and did a "config -r pez", and I still see the line "KERNFORMAT?= aout" in /sys/i386/compile/pez/Makefile... but ultimately that doesn't matter, since an ELF kernel is now produced anyways. So, sorry about the false alarm. It'll be good to see some of the aout-related cruft start to dribble out of the source as the switch-over to ELF is now more-or-less mandatory for the casual -current follower (if there is such a thing).
