I've noticed an additional problem with the file recipe, specifically
that it tries to run the file it just built (in the -native case) and
this links against libmagic.so. When it runs, it can use
the /usr/lib/libmagic instead of the one in WORKDIR. If you have file
2.22 on your system (e.g. Ubuntu 15.04), you can get an error.

The fix I found was to add an LD_LIBRBARY_PATH to the Makefile:

	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(top_builddir)/src/.libs $(FILE_COMPILE) -C -m magic

which is ugly but appeared to fix the error I was seeing. There was a
bug a while back I was unable to reproduce and this is likely the cause
of that too, it all depends which version of libmagic you have on your
system.

Cheers,

Richard
