According to Joachim Kuebart:
The information to build XFree86 is incomplete:
You need to separately "make configure" and then edit work/xc/config/cf/xf86site.def to include the line
#define UseElfFormat YES
There is a better way I think. I've completed a "make World" of X11R6.3, using a merge of all posted patches (Doug's & yours) and some mine. The various X servers/lib/programs linked successfully and seems to run fine.
This is due to the fact that I am unaware of a portable way to check if we're on an ELF system. Bear in mind it might be a prehistoric -stable version, so it isn't just a question of `objformat`.
XFree86 has only releases to consider and 3.0 will be ELF so it is safe IMO to assume that "objformat" will return "elf". Anyway, when you run an ELF FreeBSD, __ELF__ is defined by the preprocessor...
Supporting both 3.0/aout and 3.0/ELF may be too complicated.
I don't know what you want to do with your ports, but speaking for XFree86, I'd like to see both formats supported in the medium term.
It would be good from an XFree86 point of view to add code to imake to figure out the default binary format to use at runtime and have that set DefaultBinaryType internally.

ldd seems to display some libraries (the one in the path specified with "-rpath" and "-rpath-link"). Is it expected ?

I recall seeing this reported for Linux/ELF some time ago. I'm not sure how they dealt with that.
