Noted. But...

You mean, the find extensions it uses? And/or the bash syntax?

It doesn't have to be POSIX, it has to work on a full install of
Slackware, where /usr/bin/find is the GNU one (if it's not, you have
broken a lot more than just this).

And the shebang line is #!/bin/bash, meaning SlackBuilds are
explicitly bash scripts, not intended to be portable to other shells.
This has been discussed to death already in the past (on this list,
in private emails, and on IRC)...

Even if someday Pat changes the default /bin/sh by symlinking it to
something other than /bin/bash (unlikely but I suppose possible), I
doubt he'll remove bash from the distro.
