Hi Karl, indeed, a new cut of the GNU findutils is overdue: we have already 187 commits since v4.6.0 which was released around Xmas 2015. I have a few things open on my side, but then need to find some time to do the release together with James. Re. the tests: in that situation, I'd try to skip the gnulib tests, and only let the find/xargs tests run. Or you can try with a new snapshot tarball created with './bootstrap && ./configure && make all dist' from a git clone. Have a nice day, Berny
