Description:
On sparc64:
/usr/bin/file: ERROR: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, SPARC V9, relaxed memory
ordering, version 1 (FreeBSD), statically linkederror reading (File too large)
But when I try 'file' from i386 it correctly recognizes sparc64 executables.
Could you please try with file and libmagic rebuilt with the following
patch?

I can't reproduce the exact same problem but the issues I have with
file(1) and ELF binaries are fixed with it.
