I WASN'T warned this broke the 4.x->5.0 upgrade. I was told it broke cross builds by someone working on cross builds of 5.0 from one platform to another. Due to the specialized nature of this work, and the importance of polishing the release, I wanted to delay revisiting this. > The attached patch adds `build-tools' target to usr.bin/file that > build "xfile" binary on the host platform, and that is used to > compile magic and magic.mime file. I have another idea I would like to try that is more generic. If that does not work, then I'll add a trimmed down version of your patch (more simular to what NetBSD does).
