[bug #18227] find -ls does not display device numbers for device nodes.

[James Youngman]

Update of bug #18227 (project findutils):

                 Release:                  4.2.28 => 4.1.20

Follow-up Comment #4:

It turns out that this difference is caused by the fact that listfile.c checks
HAVE_ST_RDEV in order to figure out if it can print the major and minor
numbers.   However, the configure script actually defines the preprocessor
macro HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_RDEV to indicate this instead (by calling
AC_CHECK_MEMBERS([struct stat.st_rdev])).

I've updated the check in listfile.c.

HAVE_ST_RDEV was defined by the obsolete Autoconf macro AC_STRUCT_ST_RDEV.  
In other words, this bug was introduced by an Autoconf upgrade which should
have been preceded by a change to use 

I think this bug was introduced in change

    * configure.in: add Galition and Estonian languages.
    Miscellaneous other fixes.

Hence this bug probably first affects findutils-4.1.7.
