 <title>Installing Findutils</title>
 
-<para>The Findutils package is quite old and it has problems compiling
-against newer Glibc versions (Glibc-2.0.x and up). You need to apply the
-patch, which fixes the following issues:</para>

-<itemizedlist>
-<listitem><para>Findutils declares a function called basename, but this
-function name is already used by the C standard libraries. This patch
-changes the Findutils version of basename function so that it is called
-basename2 instead.</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>Findutils uses library files in an incorrect way. It
-declares library functions, to tell the compiler what the name of the
-function will be when the libraries are linked in. This syntax is invalid
-and causes compiler warnings/errors. This patch removes this improper
-syntax.</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>Every GNU package is supposed use a macro called _GNU_SOURCE.
-This macro enables declarations of GNU library extension functions and so the
-compiler will be able to detect name conflicts between functions more easily.
-This patch adds this macro to the source code.</para></listitem>

-<para>There is a bug in locate.c of Findutils that causes a segmentation
-fault to occur on very long path names. The problem is caused by the
-get_short() function calculating negative numbers incorrectly. This patch
