Got an idea, why not say "Uh, Holmes, /bin/sh is a ELF 32-bit LSB

(setq auto-coding-regexp-alist
(cons '("\\`\177ELF" . no-conversion)
auto-coding-regexp-alist))
You can find more interesting byte patterns in /etc/magic.
(setq auto-mode-alist
(cons (cons "\\`/bin/[^/]+\\'" 'hexl-mode)
auto-mode-alist))
You can find more directories with binary files in (getenv "PATH") or
load-path.
