/src/package/util/findutils-4.2.29/find/testsuite/../find version 4.2.29
Features enabled: D_TYPE O_NOFOLLOW(enabled) LEAF_OPTIMISATION 

This was built on a system originating as RedHat-7.1 which has been
progressively bastardised by piecemeal handbuilt upgrades since the
RPM database was lost.

I'm happy to provide system information, or attempt to debug it (if
someone can turn the find_start call in iregex1.exp into an actual
command line for me).

As a starting point: gcc-4.1.1, binutils-2.17, libc-2.2.5. 'configure'
was run with no arguments except: prefix, libexecdir, localstatedir.
