libmakepkg: Support file 5.33's application/x-pie-executable
file 5.33 introduces a new MIME type "application/x-pie-executable", which is used for relocatable binaries. makepkg ignored these binaries and did not attempt to strip them. Handle the new MIME type like the old "application/x-sharedlib". Stripping the binaries with --strip-unneeded to keep relocation information should be the correct thing to do. file 5.33 also misidentifies actual libraries as PIE executables, so we didn't strip any shared libraries, either. We now work around this bug. Signed-off-by: Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig) <jan.steffens@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
