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.

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.
