I've prepared an upgrade to file-4.10 at:

   <http://people.freebsd.org/~eik/patches/fileup.shar>

This fixes

   PR bin/63830: [patch] file(1) doesn't recognize FreeBSD 5.x 
executables properly

and an MFC will fix the problems of FreeBSD 4.10 being identified as 
4.9.1. I'll do some more testing (GCC 3.4) and think we should commit 
this before the 5.3 src freeze, especially since it has been discussed 
over a month ago:
