It must exist somewhere, or else make would have made it. The fact you
have an el1 file indicates something worked right.

Oh, don't copy the ofwboot.el1 file to ofwboot.elf as it won't work. It is
an ELF-format precursor for ofwboot.xcf. It's not a functional ELF
program.

Try 'cd sys/arch/macppc/stand/ofwboot; find . -name "ofwboot*"' and you
should see ofwboot, ofwboot.elf, ofwboot.xcf, ofwboot.mrg, and
ofwboot.el1. And others.

I expect what happened is that you have an obj directory and that
some of the files are in it and some aren't.

Take care,
