Summary:  Inconsistent display of warningmessage about options and non-options

Original Submission:  Recent releases of find display a warning message if 
overall options like -maxdepth appear in the middle of the expression, however 
displaying this warning is inconsistent:

downhill:/etc# find . -xdev -depth -type f -print > /dev/null
find: warning: you have specified the -depth option after a non-option argument 
-xdev, but options are not positional (-depth affects tests specified before it 
as well as those specified after it).  Please specify options before other 
arguments.

# but -depth *is* a non-option.

downhill:/etc# find . -type f -depth -print > /dev/null
find: warning: you have specified the -depth option after a non-option argument 
-type, but options are not positional (-depth affects tests specified before it 
as well as those specified after it).  Please specify options before other 
arguments.

#switching the nooptions works:

downhill:/etc# find . -depth -xdev -type f -print > /dev/null

Actually the problem is -xdev, which is not recognized as global option, this 
might be enough:
-{ARG_TEST,               "xdev",                  parse_xdev}
+{ARG_OPTION,             "xdev",                  parse_xdev}
