This is a message I get when I rebuild some packages:

*** Warning: the command libtool uses to detect shared libraries,
*** /usr/bin/file, produces output that libtool cannot recognize.
*** The result is that libtool may fail to recognize shared libraries
*** as such.  This will affect the creation of libtool libraries that
*** depend on shared libraries, but programs linked with such libtool
*** libraries will work regardless of this problem.  Nevertheless, you
*** may want to report the problem to your system manager and/or to
*** bug-libtool@gnu.org


The command

file libjbig.so.1

produces the output

libjbig.so.1: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 
(FreeBSD), not stripped


which looks OK to me. Is this something that should concern me?
