Hmm, a quick look though the gcc part of the tree fails to show where
any port would make a #define of the object file format available.  I
have only access to NetBSD/{sparc,i386,pmax} and none of these have
defines for either __AOUT__ or __ELF__.  Does gcc for Alpha define
__ELF__, and how is it done if it does?
