Description

Seems our find doesn't support the '-links' option, which is mandated by
POSIX: <http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009604599/utilities/find.html&gt;.

GNU find does, though, which is leading to some odd behavior.

$ /usr/bin/find -links      
/usr/bin/find: illegal option -- l
/usr/bin/find: [-E] [-H | -L] path-list predicate-list

$ /usr/xpg4/bin/find -links
/usr/xpg4/bin/find: illegal option -- l
/usr/xpg4/bin/find: [-E] [-H | -L] path-list predicate-list

$ /usr/gnu/bin/find -links
/usr/gnu/bin/find: missing argument to `-links'

What do you mean by odd behavior? As for the primary itself, it's pretty easy to implement.
