When running configure on FreeBSD 7+, the following error message is printed when hints are run:
./hints/freebsd.sh: /usr/bin/objformat: not found
The reason for this is outlined in this email from Feb 2007
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2007-February/038523.html
As hints run now, it should be executing the non-a.out code, so the below patch should be applied to fix this.
