Comment (by jonesc@…):
> > 2. Is it necessary that `/usr/bin/file` be used in `configure`? We
usually don’t go out of the way to use the system’s versions of simple
tools. What problem does this prevent?

> That is done to work around a problem where the build would fail during
configure if the user had MacPorts own 'file' port installed, due if I
remember correctly (its been a while) due to it not properly supporting
universal binaries. If this has changed, then it can be removed, but I
think assuming /usr/bin/file is there is not a major deal ;)
The relevant ticket that lead to that patch is
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31260
So if the issue that refers to is fixed, then it can be removed.
