  rpm build bad magic is caused by locale dependance

Bug description:
  asterisk-sounds-core package building fails, as rpmbuild finds bad
  magic:

  error: magic_file(ms, ".../usr/share/asterisk/sounds/vm-onefor.sln16") failed: mode 37777700644 DOS executable (device driver)vasprintf failed (Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character)
  rpmbuild: rpmfc.c:1366: rpmfcClassify: Assertion `ftype != ((void *)0)' failed.

  however, file(1) seems NOT to fail if invoked in non-utf8 locale:

  $ LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 file vm-onefor.sln16
  vm-onefor.sln16: ERROR: DOS executable (device driver)vasprintf failed (Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character)

  $ LC_ALL=C file vm-onefor.sln16
  vm-onefor.sln16: DOS executable (device driver), name: \377\001\377\377\375\375\375\377\377\261
