Ah. Then we have a problem. You're trying to build it on a FreeBSD box
without using the FreeBSD ports system, but Philip has constructed the
FreeBSD-specific Makefiles in such a way that they work within that
system only. This may have been on my request.

Regardless, it's probably a logical flaw. Just add to the top of the
Makefile, the appropriate

PORTOBJFORMAT={aout|elf}

depending on whether you're running an AOUT or ELF system.

I'll submit something more robust to Philip to handle PORTOBJFORMAT for
non-FreeBSD-ports build environments.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
