FreeBSD 7+ no longer contains /usr/bin/objformat, so the following

(harmless) 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

This patch just skips the objformat check for versions 7+ and
assumes ELF.  (The end result is unchanged, but the error
message will not be printed anymore.)
