sys-apps/file-5.37-r1 is not affected. sys-apps/file-5.38 has regression in distinction of ELF PIE executables from ELF shared libraries. Fix: https://github.com/file/file/commit/483e7d8f1a5c3544bd42ead471813f8389fa7fc2 With sys-apps/file-5.37-r1: # file /bin/ls /lib64/libz.so.1.2.11 /bin/ls: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 4.0.0, stripped /lib64/libz.so.1.2.11: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped With sys-apps/file-5.38 (unpatched): # file /bin/ls /lib64/libz.so.1.2.11 /bin/ls: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 4.0.0, stripped /lib64/libz.so.1.2.11: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped With sys-apps/file-5.38 (patched): # file /bin/ls /lib64/libz.so.1.2.11 /bin/ls: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 4.0.0, stripped /lib64/libz.so.1.2.11: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped (This "shared object" for ELF PIE executables causes false positive result in Portage code added for bug #715162.) (Another, still present, unrelated regression seen above is "statically linked" for ELF dynamically linked shared libraries...)

Wondering if the revert of https://github.com/file/file/commit/24c9c086cd7c55b7b0a003a145b32466468e2608 will cause some new failures with gcc-9. Let's see...
