 The line:
 
     echo "`(file -L $libc) 2> /dev/null`"
 
 was returning no output, so it must have been producing an error.  (I've
 never liked silently ignoring error output and ignoring error statuses
 returned from commands).
 
 I removed the STDERR redirection, and found the issue, summarized as:
 
     bash-3.2# /usr/bin/file -v
     file-4.21
     magic file from /usr/share/misc/magic
 
 Ok, that looks good. Let's run file:
 
     bash-3.2# /usr/bin/file
     /usr/share/misc/magic, 2393: Warning: <= not supported
     /usr/share/misc/magic, 5938: Warning: <= not supported
     /usr/share/misc/magic, 5941: Warning: <= not supported
     /usr/share/misc/magic, 7848: Warning: >= not supported
     file: File 4.26 supports only 6 version magic files.
         `/usr/share/misc/magic.mgc' is version 4
 
 Here's our problem.  Let's see why file is using 4.26 APIs against
 /usr/share/misc/magic:
 
     bash-3.2# ls -l /usr/bin/file /usr/share/misc/magic
     -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   14303 Sep  1  2007 /usr/bin/file
     -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  482863 Sep  1  2007 /usr/share/misc/magic
 
 Nothing wrong here; these are originals.  Let's see what file pulling in:
 
     bash-3.2# ldd /usr/bin/file
     /usr/bin/file:
             -lz.1 => /usr/pkg/lib/libz.so.1
             -lmagic.1 => /usr/local/lib/libmagic.so.1
             -lc.12 => /usr/lib/libc.so.12
 
 Aha, file is using an updated version of file (v4.26), because:
 
     bash-3.2# cat /etc/ld.so.conf
     libm.so.0       machdep.fpu_present     1:libm387.so.0,libm.so.0
     /usr/pkg/lib
     /usr/local/lib
 
 Moving /usr/bin/file to /usr/bin/file.dist allows openssl to build
 correctly.
 
 Thank you very much OBATA Akio for your time in narrowing this problem
 to where I could resolve the issue.
 
 We can consider this (non-)bug closed.
