Except for one thing (though I'm not sure if this is supposed to be
supported):

On my ELF FreeBSD-stable system I wanted to "make aout-to-elf-build"
so that I later, on another computer still running 2.2.6-release (I
think it is), could do a make install-aout-to-elf.

However "make aout-to-elf-build" breaks trying to build doscmd. The
Makefile is fooled into trying to link in the installed X11 libraries,
which of course are ELF format and not suitable for use in
aout-to-elf-build. Sigh.

Seems that the makefile should test both if the X
libraries/directories exist and whether the libraries are in the
correct binary format.

It looks like I can use the command "make aout-to-elf-build
X11BASE=/nonexistant" to fool the Makefile into not including X11
support ind doscmd. (running this as a test right now).

If this sort of "cross-compilation"/updating is not supported, it's
not an issue.
