            Bug ID: 292079
           Summary: file(1) on ppc64 -HEAD (at least) builds do not detect
                    libraries, binaries, etc
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: adrian@freebsd.org

file(1) in the latest (20251222) powerpc64 (big endian) doesn't detect
binary/library files correctly. This was installed from a cross-built -HEAD
snapshot install ISO.

See:

```
adrian@freebsd-16-ppc64-be:~ % file /bin/ls
/bin/ls: data
adrian@freebsd-16-ppc64-be:~ % /usr/local/bin/file /bin/ls
/bin/ls: ELF 64-bit MSB pie executable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, OpenPOWER
ELF V2 ABI, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, interpreter
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1, for FreeBSD 16.0 (1600007), FreeBSD-style, stripped
adrian@freebsd-16-ppc64-be:~ % 
```

The port built file works fine.

Weirdly, port built file magic w/ the cross-built base file also works:

```
adrian@freebsd-16-ppc64-be:~ % !105
file -m /usr/local/share/file/magic.mgc /bin/ls
/bin/ls: ELF 64-bit MSB pie executable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, OpenPOWER
ELF V2 ABI, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, interpreter
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1, for FreeBSD 16.0 (1600007), FreeBSD-style, stripped
adrian@freebsd-16-ppc64-be:~ % 
```

but the reverse (port file, local file.mgc) doesn't work.
