Re: fts: make find *much* faster on dirent.d_type-challenged FS

[Karl Berry]

    Have you built gcc on AIX 4.x?

Personally?  Not recently.  I've done so in the past.

The person who builds the AIX binaries for TL is Vladimir Volovich.  As
I recall, vvv told me that he did have gcc on AIX, but that the
resulting binaries were both slower and bigger than the IBM C compiler
results.  There may also have been more issues of portability between
AIX versions.  These were the "various reasons".  (I encouraged him to
use gcc anyway.)

Anyway, my point here was merely that decl-after-stmt was not an
unreasonable assumption for GNU packages.
