For FreeBSD 10 we have changed /usr/lib/libc.so to be a text linker script and no longer a symlink. This breaks the config check on i386 for what binary format to use when building with ASM support. The current config check expects /usr/lib/libc.so to symlink to a /usr/lib/libc.so.X file to run file(1) against. For FreeBSD the real libc.so is in /lib/libc.so.X.
Because the proper libc.so is not found, a.out format is chosen when
using ASM and the build fails.

Build passes.
I have 2 proposed patches which solve the problem. Only 1 is needed.
1. Use file(1) against /bin/sh for all BSD platforms. I believe this
will be more portable long-term. It will determine the binary type,
regardless of where libc.so is or how it is setup. Note that -L is used
to follow symlink incase someone symlinks /bin/sh to something else.

2. Or just include /lib/libc.so.* in the search path to run file(1)
against. I prefer #1 as it is possible that /usr/lib/libc.so is
symlinked to a libc.ld script, which cause file(1) to return 'ASCII' and
the config falls back on a.out.
