The imake in xorg just had to be patched too.

Anyone who doesn't want to try to fix things correctly or just
doesn't know how can create a shell script named
"/usr/bin/objformat" that just echoes "elf" when invoked, unless
you already have an 'objformat' of course.

It's cheating, but it works until every affected port is corrected.
Several have already been fixed.  Alternatively, the port can be
fixed correctly and solution shared via send-pr.
