Libtool is broken. It doesn't use `file' for most ELF Linux platforms
but it does for MIPS.
Here is a patch for libtool. After building and installing updated
libtool you need to run `libtoolize -f' to update an obsolete script for
every libtool-dependent program to be built. Depending on a program's
configuration and the version of libtool used by it, there might be
additional steps needed, such as running `aclocal' or `autoconf'.
Sometimes a manual update of "aclocal.m4" is needed.
