FWIW, current Libtool has this in libtool.m4 (M4 quoting removed):

freebsd* | dragonfly*)
  # DragonFly does not have aout.  When/if they implement a new
  # versioning mechanism, adjust this.
  if test -x /usr/bin/objformat; then
    objformat=`/usr/bin/objformat`
  else
    case $host_os in
    freebsd[123]*) objformat=aout ;;
    *) objformat=elf ;;
    esac
  fi

Not sure if anybody cares for the backward compatibility.

Cheers,
Ralf
