The transition build should be performed without BINFORMAT, OBJFORMAT
or /etc/objformat being set. I assumed that if you had done previous
builds with BINFORMAT set to elf, then you must have been running elf,
otherwise you would get wierd build errors.

FWIW, I tested the upgrade starting with a clean 2.2.5/6/7 or current
system. By clean, I mean no changes to /etc/make.conf from what was
distributed in each release. I can't think of a way of preventing local
overrides in /etc/make.conf from breaking the build.
