Building findutils for musl-linux-any fails, because the freadahead
implementation of gnulib does not cover musl. Meanwhile, this has been
fixed in gnulib. Please update the freadahead module. You can easily
recognize a recent enough freadahead module by looking for
HAVE___FREADAHEAD.

The problem with doing so is that you cannot simply replace
freadahead.c, because the new freadahead module adds a new check.
Unfortunately, gnulib itself changed considerably and gnulib-tool
--add-import doesn't do what it claims to do as the module cache format
changed. Furthermore, autoreconfing findutils is non-trivial (see
#803740). I'm not yet 100% sure, but as far as I can see, we cannot
rebuild findutils' configure using tools in Debian. Thus #803740 would
be retitled to "missing source" and become an rc bug. I'd be happy to be
wrong about this.
