Different compilers? No, different versions. oldfind really is version 4.3.0, but uses the same hand-rolled traversal algorithm as 4.2.27. find 4.3.0 introduces a new algorithm, based on gnulib fts(). The difference in algorithms can be seen with strace, where a different sequence of syscalls is made between the two. > > Hope this helps. :-) If you like send me the source I would > be happy to try it (ie. open vs. opendir) on my machine. The source for findutils, including the cygwin-specific patches, is available via setup.exe. There are checkboxes next to each package in the chooser screen so that you can download the source of that package to /usr/src and reproduce how the maintainer built the binary. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
