...and how to build the first ELF kernel with the new toolchain, made
with "./build.sh -t" (assuming that you want to support native
builders). I'd been meaning to add an entry for the new toolchain to
<http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/elf.html#updating-from-a.out>, but
I haven't gotten around to it.

By the way, shouldn't "OBJECT_FMT" get the same treatment as
"USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN", that is, ELF by default, a.out is the exception?
