Well, since /usr/bin/file is hard-coded, adding ‘file’ as an input would not be enough: you’d also need to patch ‘configure’. However, this /usr/bin/file stanza in ‘configure’ scripts doesn’t seem to have any practical impact since we’ve been building without it for ages. So I would just keep ignoring it. :-) Ludo’.
