Did you already try to add an .else branch for ${OBJECT_FMT} in
mk/check/check-shlibs.mk?

.elif ${OBJECT_FMT} == "Mach-O"
CHECK_SHLIBS_NATIVE= ...
.else
CHECK_SHLIBS_NATIVE:= shlibs-${OBJECT_FMT:Q}-does-not-exist.awk
.endif

Note the := instead of a simple =, which records the value at the time
of evaluation. It shouldn't make a difference, but who knows?

Do you use "make" or "bmake"? Does it make a difference when you try both?

When you run "make -dA 2>&1 | less" and search for "check-shlibs", and
then for "lhs =", you should see this line:

> lhs = "ELF", rhs = "ELF", op = ==
