>Organization:
Izumi Tsutsui	Himeji City, Japan
>Environment:
System: NetBSD/cats 1.5X
Architecture: arm32
Machine: cats
>Description:
src/usr.bin/make/main.c refers <machine/param.h> to get
MACHINE_ARCH and MACHINE macros, but it is a symlink
to /usr/include/arm/param.h on arm ports. 

Both of MACHINE_ARCH and MACHINE are defined as "arm" in arm/param.h,
but currnet /usr/share/mk/bsd.owk.mk implicitly sets OBJECT_FMT=ELF
even on ports which still use a.out (like cats).

>How-To-Repeat:
Code inspection, or make any binaries after rebuild make(1):
---
# cd /usr/src/usr.bin/make
# make
[..snip..]
make: don't know how to make /usr/lib/crtbegin.o. Stop

make: stopped in /usr/src/usr.bin/make
---

BTW, maybe gnu/usr.bin/gas.new/Makefile also has problem (arm vs. arm32).

>Fix:
No idea. (Fix bsd.own.mk or param.h ?)
