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's an example line in that file that just needs to be uncommented.

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`.
