I guess the patch is attempting to work around an incompatibility with the 
'find' implementation on OS/2, which evidently does not support the '+' syntax 
that was introduced in POSIX:2001.  But one can run the 'bootstrap' script on 
any platform, and then transfer the resulting source-file tree to OS/2 for 
further processing.  So if my guess is right, it's not essential to change 
'bootstrap' to work around the incompatibility.
