On FreeBSD, "find" does not support the "printf" flag, so we
need to use "gfind" from the "findutils" package.

It is one more dependency.  Shouldn't we avoid it by rewritting
the shell commands with loops?

Probably in the longer term, yes. If I get the chance, I'll try and
rewrite this script, but let's keep this patch in the queue in case
I don't get to in the 21.11 timeframe.

OK I can help with the shell tricks if needed.

Well, I was actually considering a rewrite in python for two reasons: *
easy FS scans using the "walk()" function * portability across OS's
[which is the main reason for the work after all]

Applied this patch for 21.11.

Following up on this thread, implemented an alternative fix for this issue
which does not use the extra findutils dependency[1]. I didn't rewrite the
script in python as was my original intent, but used basic shell commands
to work around the lack of printf support in find, leading to a simpler
fix.
