You're missing GNU find.

-iname isn't required by POSIX; there's little hope that IBM will provide it.
I built GNU find for myself.  I don't remembet all the pitfalls; one is that
z/OS has 32 mode bits; traditional UNIX has 16.  I may yet have a cheat sheet
around, or it may be on the Tools and Toys Redbook CD.

You're also missing:

o -ls
o -print0
o -follow that doesn't loop on symlink cycles

etc.  See:
