Is there a platform variable that affects this, which may have recently
been reset? The object format *should* be XCOFF for AIX, AFAIK.
This is a bug in bootstrap-mk-files bsd.own.mk, which wrongly sets
OBJECT_FMT=ELF. We had a workaround in pkgsrc/mk/bsd.prefs.mk which
broke when I brought in some cross-compilation changes a few months
ago to split OPSYS from NATIVE_OPSYS, and I adapted the workaround for
Cygwin when someone tripped over it earlier this month in PR pkg/58315
(https://gnats.NetBSD.org/58315):
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-changes/2024/06/05/msg301291.html
Should really properly fix it in bootstrap-mk-files, but it would be
nice not to have to duplicate the information for both native and
cross builds, and I haven't thought of a good way to do it yet.
For now, I'd just try the attached patch to the workaround.
