I assumed a reason like that, but wouldn't it be logical in that case not to
define DT_SOCK too?  Presence of socks could be inferred from DT_SOCK too or
am I missing something?  Of course. it is not a mayor issue to fix the findutils
code but I fear that this will happen again with some other package to port again.
