Comment 6 for bug 337905

I have this issue during cross-compiling to arm:

running build
running build_ext
running install_lib
copying build/lib.linux-i686-2.5/magic.so -> /usr/arm-module2-linux-gnueabi/tmp/portage/sys-apps/file-4.23/image/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages
running install_egg_info
Writing /usr/arm-module2-linux-gnueabi/tmp/portage/sys-apps/file-4.23/image/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Magic_file_extensions-0.1-py2.5.egg-info
>>> Completed installing file-4.23 into /usr/arm-module2-linux-gnueabi/tmp/portage/sys-apps/file-4.23/image/

* Wrong EM_TYPE. Expected EM_ARM
EM_386 ./usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/magic.so

But workaround works..
