Sorry for the wait, I filed the mail in a wrong folder.

I did a cross buildworld on a i386 machine, and copied the resulting
file binary over to my sparc box. It works just like the native file
binary. I even replaced libc.so.6 with the one from the cross build. But
that also didn't change anything.
