file(1) might be quicker:

[roam at straylight ~]> file /sbin/nfsd
/sbin/nfsd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), for FreeBSD 4.8, statically linked, stripped
[roam at straylight ~]> file /usr/bin/file
/usr/bin/file: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), for FreeBSD 4.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

G'luck,
Peter
