Instead of all the debate about GNU compatibility and the fact that the
patch adds a feature not readily available, why not improve FreeBSD's
find without caring about GNU's find? I have not seen a way to capture
output from a command and compare it to another command. Imagine
something conceptually like `find . -type l -execout readlink '{}' \;
-eq "foobar.txt" -print`? Then it's possible to achieve the same
possibility as -lname, and far far more. You could search for all
files with "foobar" in the last ten lines of the file even. The
closest "viable" option to this that I know of is find2perl, and then
custom editing.
Not to mention, I imagine you'd soon see GNU find struggling for
FreeBSD find compatibility.
