You've played this game before! It's aout, not elf:

/usr/obj/elf/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/perl/lib/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a: current ar archive random library

whereas:

/usr/obj/elf/usr/src/tmp/usr/lib/libc.a: current ar archive

The `ar cr' command doesn't have a path, so it should be getting the
objformat relative one from the path set by the make. This implies that
OBJFORMAT has been overridden to aout somehow instead of following what
the build environment has set.
