The kernel is aout that's why:

kernel:         ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1
(FreeBSD), dynamically linked, not stripped
kernel.GENERIC: unknown pure executable
kernel.old:     unknown pure executable not stripped

The first is my elf kernel, 2nd is obvious, and kernel.old is my last
tweaked aout kernel.  I'm sure there is a more technical explanation, but
nothing is wrong with what you see.

The "not stripped" makes me wonder what happens if it is stripped, as
apparently the GENERIC is.  No programmer here, but do recall the need to
strip certain things after compilation on BSDi.  If it works....
