Hm. One thing that's sort of spooked me so far... When I have a kernel
with COMPAT_AOUT in it, it looks like my "stuff" sees /emul/aout in place
of what I'd expect it to see. To wit, "ls /usr" shows me the contents of
/emul/aout/usr, not the actual contents of /usr. Is this to be expected,
and will I run into any problems with this being the case?

So, the updated list of stuff to do, in order:

Run kernel with COMPAT_AOUT and a populated /emul/aout
BOOTSTRAP_ELF=YES >> /etc/mk.conf
cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin && make clean && make depend && make && make install
cd /usr/src/gnu/lib/libbfd && make clean && make depend && make && make install
cd /usr/src/lib/csu && make clean && make depend && make && make install
OBJECT_FMT=ELF >> /etc/mk.conf
LDSTATIC=-static in /etc/mk.conf
cd /usr/src && make build

Is this correct? Also, a newbieish question, but where do I want to set
and unset DESTDIR in this process to make sure stuff is working?

Thanks in advance for the additional prods, pointers, and reassurances. :)
Also, note that I have a recent backup, so shooting myself in the foot is
acceptable, if not particularly desired.
