I think I know what the problem is, /usr/bin/file not being able to 
display correct ELF info. I've looked at this deeper and I think I found 
the problem:

Userland built on sparc64 machine for sparc64:

u10# file /usr/share/misc/magic*
/usr/share/misc/magic:          magic text file for file(1) cmd
/usr/share/misc/magic.mgc:      magic binary file for file(1) cmd 
(version 2) (big endian)
/usr/share/misc/magic.mime:     magic text file for file(1) cmd
/usr/share/misc/magic.mime.mgc: magic binary file for file(1) cmd 
(version 2) (big endian)


Userland cross-built on i386 machine for sparc64:

u10# file /root/magics/*
/root/magics/magic:          magic text file for file(1) cmd
/root/magics/magic.mgc:      magic binary file for file(1) cmd (version 
2) (little endian)
/root/magics/magic.mime:     magic text file for file(1) cmd
/root/magics/magic.mime.mgc: magic binary file for file(1) cmd (version 
2) (little endian)

Note the binary files have different endianess, big vs little.
Any idea if it's trivial to fix this for cross-builds? It's quite 
annoying, coz I keep forgetting about it.

When building devel/pango I see the follwoing messages being output, and 
I think this somehow break the build. Well I copied the big endian 
magic.* files into /usr/share/misc (which fixed /usr/bin/file) and now 
restarting the build to see if it helps.
