https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=292079 Bug ID: 292079 Summary: file(1) on ppc64 -HEAD (at least) builds do not detect libraries, binaries, etc Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: adrian@freebsd.org file(1) in the latest (20251222) powerpc64 (big endian) doesn't detect binary/library files correctly. This was installed from a cross-built -HEAD snapshot install ISO. See: ``` adrian@freebsd-16-ppc64-be:~ % file /bin/ls /bin/ls: data adrian@freebsd-16-ppc64-be:~ % /usr/local/bin/file /bin/ls /bin/ls: ELF 64-bit MSB pie executable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, OpenPOWER ELF V2 ABI, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1, for FreeBSD 16.0 (1600007), FreeBSD-style, stripped adrian@freebsd-16-ppc64-be:~ % ``` The port built file works fine. Weirdly, port built file magic w/ the cross-built base file also works: ``` adrian@freebsd-16-ppc64-be:~ % !105 file -m /usr/local/share/file/magic.mgc /bin/ls /bin/ls: ELF 64-bit MSB pie executable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, OpenPOWER ELF V2 ABI, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1, for FreeBSD 16.0 (1600007), FreeBSD-style, stripped adrian@freebsd-16-ppc64-be:~ % ``` but the reverse (port file, local file.mgc) doesn't work. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
