Being unable to unpack a tarball is much worse that being unable to run the test suite or clean the build tree, though. I'm sure some people won't even know how to proceed in that situation. > In short although GNU findutils is doable, it's a hassle that is better > avoided. I'm reluctant to make changes in the build scripts on the release branch at this point. make-dist only affects Emacs maintainers who prepare the tarball, so having some trouble there is not a catastrophe. But a problem in Makefile's will affect everyone who builds the release. So I'd prefer to keep those two changes on master for now.
