Hello there.

I got these outputs when I ran 'file' command to a MIPS lettle
endian binary.

    bash-2.03$ file ./netbsd
    ./netbsd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, MIPS R3000_BE - invalid byte order,
version 1 MathCoPro/FPU/MAU Required, statically linked, not stripped

I found two files releated this.

  src/gnu/dist/include/elf/common.h:
    /* Values for e_machine, which identifies the architecture */
    #define EM_MIPS         8       /* MIPS R3000 (officially, big-endian
only) */
    #define EM_MIPS_RS4_BE 10       /* MIPS R4000 big-endian */

  /usr/share/misc/magic: (This file was made from
src/usr.bin/file/magdir/olf)
    >>18    leshort         8               MIPS R3000_BE - invalid
byteorder,
    >>18    leshort         10              MIPS R3000_LE,
    >>18    beshort         8               MIPS R3000_BE,
    >>18    beshort         10              MIPS R3000_LE - invalid
byteorder,

A gcc generate ELF header with machine=08, 00 which means
0x0008 in a lettle endian style and a file command shows
'invalid byte order' acording to the magic file.

I don't know which is correct :-(
Should we fix src/usr.bin/file/magdir/olf ?
Like below ?

    >>18    leshort         8               MIPS R3000_LE,
    >>18    leshort         10              MIPS R4000_LE,
    >>18    beshort         8               MIPS R3000_BE,
    >>18    beshort         10              MIPS R4000_BE,
