Well, since /usr/bin/file is hard-coded, adding =E2=80=98file=E2=80=99 as a=
n input would
not be enough: you=E2=80=99d also need to patch =E2=80=98configure=E2=80=99.

However, this /usr/bin/file stanza in =E2=80=98configure=E2=80=99 scripts d=
oesn=E2=80=99t seem
to have any practical impact since we=E2=80=99ve been building without it f=
or
ages.  So I would just keep ignoring it.  :-)
