The fixing patch

The binmiscctl(8) man page provides several examples of magics that can be =
used
with several architectures.

The powerpc64 example has a little error in the magic string: the EI_CLASS
field (offset 0x04) should be 0x02 (64 bit) instead of 0x01 (32 bit)

Cross-compiled powerpc64 FreeBSD binaries confirm the error:

# hexdump -C -n 20 id
00000000  7f 45 4c 46 02 02 01 09  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |.ELF..........=
..|
00000010  00 02 00 15                                       |....|

The attached patch can be applied to fix the man page
