[Bug bootstrap/34474] find from BusyBox v1.2.2 does not support logical OR (-o argument)

[steven at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Three questions:
1. According to the 'find(1)' man pages, -o is specified in POSIX.  Should GCC
support non-POSIX find commands?  IMHO, no.
2. Why would you build in a busybox environment in the first place?  This seems
like a highly unusual thing to do.  IMHO gcc should not have to be able to
build in such a limited environment as busybox.
3. Assuming you have good reasons for (2), is there anything stopping you from
just installing and using a POSIX conforming 'find(1)' command?

Either way, http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html should be updated to
reflect what we require to build gcc.
