i had the same problem when i frist moved from 1.4.1 to current.
is you object OBJECT_FMT set up right?

i fixed the problem by
SRC=/usr/src
OBJECT_FMT=a.out

cd $SRC/gnu/lib/libbdf && make

OBJECT_FMT=ELF
cd $SRC && make includes
cd $SRC/lib/csu && make all install

try the script on
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/elf.html#updating-from-a.out
if that fails (what i suggested above is basicly a cut down of the
sections involved in your question from that script).
