Alas, though, this mishandles files whose time stamps differ only in the subsecond parts, whereas 'ls' by itself would get it right. Looks like 'find' is another program that needs to be updated to be struct timespec-aware.
I thought about this a year or so ago. The obvious thing to do is to change %A@ and friends so that they produce a number which is no longer an integer. I enquired on the bug-findutils mailing list about whether anybody thought that this would break scripts currently depending on the existing behaviour. At the time, I took no response as "shrug" rather than "no". James.
