Findutils Problems

[Darrell Blake]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile findutils but when I type "make
LDFLAGS=-all-static" I get the following output...

for subdir in lib find xargs locate doc testsuite; do \
  echo making all in $subdir ; \
  (cd $subdir; make all); \
done

Note the amount of errors I get.

Can anyone help me?
