My inclination would be to move the

*-*-freebsd[12] | *-*-freebsd[12].* | *-*-freebsd*aout*)
  # This is the place-holder for the generic a.out configuration
  # of FreeBSD.  No actual configuration resides here since
  # there was only ever a bare-bones ix86 configuration for
  # a.out and it exists solely in the machine-specific section.
  # This place-holder must exist to avoid dropping into
  # the generic ELF configuration of FreeBSD (i.e. it must be
  # ordered before that section).
  ;;

case up to

# Unsupported targets list.  Do not put an entry in this list unless
# it would otherwise be caught by a more permissive pattern.  The list
# should be in alphabetical order.

so that those cases get an error at configure time, and close PR 47094.  
Addressing PR 47123 in a similar way would also be good.
