AFAIK, libmagic is only used by file(1).

I can't think of why file(1) would be a necessary bootstrap-tool (or
cross-tool.)  (Although there might be a good reason.  I just don't know
what it is.)

Fixing this might be as simple as moving file(1) and libmagic from the
bootstrap-tool (or cross-tool) stage to the build-tool stage.

By the time the build reaches the build-tool stage, stdint.h should
exist from the point of view of things being built, because it's part of
DragonFly.

Disclaimer: this is only me reasoning through it, I haven't looked at it
yet. :)
