I've uploaded findutils-4.4.0-2 to release-2. I've tested that birthtime
support works, and the code heavily exercises the new *at() functions.
However, I haven't yet tested whether the long path name support works,
but assume it does, because findutils includes some configure-time tests
to see what to support. Also, it looks like long path names are currently
quadratic in behavior, as the configure-time test for whether getcwd()
returns accurate results on names longer than PATH_MAX took several
seconds to complete, whereas the same test on Linux is as fast as any of
the other configure checks.
