+# /usr/bin/objformat has been obsolete and deprecated for years.
+# Please remove any build/configure script references. New software
+# should only have to only support elf on FreeBSD.
+#
+# FreeBSD-2.0, 2.1.x and 2.2.x will use a.out
+# FreeBSD-3.x will have a real /usr/bin/objformat and are more likely
+# to be elf than a.out.
+# Assume that FreeBSD-4.x will be using elf even though it is
+# **theoretically** possible to build an a.out world.
+# FreeBSD-5.x and higher only support elf.
