findutils-4.2.15 -- "make check" fails + request + 2 patches

[Peter Breitenlohner]

Hi,

I just fetched and built findutils-4.2.15.

1. "make check" fails. The attached patch "path-02-check" should fix this
problem.

        It seems that files at the same level are always sorted
        alphabetically by find.

        Without this patch "make check" fails.

2. I'd like to ask for an enhancement in updatedb as per the attached patch
"path-01-pathfilter".

        This patch introduces an option '--pathfilter=filter' for
        updatedb.

        If a filesystem is, e.g. mounted on a fileserver as /mnt/foo but
        accessed on clients as /bar one could specify
                --pathfilter="sed -e 's%^/mnt/foo%/bar%g'"
        when building the database on the server. Default is no filter.
