4.2.30 is more than 50% bigger than 4.2.29. I guess this is coused by this
change to configure.in:

----------------------
 dnl Use gl_INCLUDED_REGEX so that findutils will build on systems like
 dnl Solaris, which lacks those functions in libc (see GNU Savannah bug
-dnl #11710)
-dnl gl_INCLUDED_REGEX([gnulib/lib/regex.c]) 
-gl_REGEX() 
+dnl #11710, bug# 17861)
+gl_INCLUDED_REGEX([gnulib/lib/regex.c]) 
+dnl gl_REGEX()
-----------------------

since the only real difference in buildlogs is that regex.c from gnulib is
used although I have a perfectly working regex support in libc.
-----------------------------
 gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../..     -Wall -O2 -c yesno.c
+gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../..     -Wall -O2 -c regex.c
 rm -f libgnulib.a
-ar cru libgnulib.a argmatch.o cycle-check.o basename.o stripslash.o
xalloc-die.o xgetcwd.o xreadlink.o xstrtoumax.o strftime.o canonicalize.o

------------------------------

4.3.1 does not contain the respective change to configure.in and is
unaffected. Perhaps updating regex.m4 might help.
