The issue is that KFind uses the MIME compliant criterium to check for binary
files. Appearantly, the MIME specification says to check the first 32 bytes
only, and .a files are designed to have a "big" ASCII header (the binary data
starts at offset 68).

Not sure if KFind should use its own function to check a larger range, or if
the kdelibs KMimeType::isBinaryData() function should be enhanced to have an
optional "size" argument.
