       The <command>file</command> command on the build host needs 
       to be same version as the one we are building in order to 
       create the signature file. Run the following commands to build it:

<!-- devs: if using - -build here, the build system wants to compile
     the signature file with "file" on the build system, but stops if it is not
     the same version. One possibility would be to build "file" on the build
     system first, but it is simpler to have the system think it is not
     cross-compiling, and use the just built "file". -->
