I tried to search for previous references to this issue, but it's pretty much
impossible to usefully search for "file"!  Sorry if this is rehashing old
discussions.

It's not really, but there is a very similar bug report and patch
outstanding (which I temporarily forgot about):
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=9231830&forum_id=5119

Probably the issue can be solved to not use `file' at all, but I'd still
need to think about that.

At one time Cygwin used 'objdump' rather than 'file'. Later it was improved to use 'file' since file returns more accurate results. For MSYS/MinGW 'objdump' is still used because 'file' does not come with MSYS.
