OK, so the only remaining case really is MSYS/MinGW itself. Do we know of win32 installations that provide a `file' command that does not do what we expect? Note that not having `file' available would be fine here, but one that does something completely unrelated, for example, would hurt.
There is no 'file' command at all available in my MSYS installation.
Maybe we should limit use of func_win32_libid to the case where both `file' is available and $host != $build?
If 'file' is available, it is likely safe to use it since it will be a port of a version commonly in use elsewhere. If 'file' is available, then its output is likely similar to the normal file command in the host environment since it is likely to be a host tool rather than a target tool.
