According to SUSv3:

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/find.html

the -printf flag to find is a non-standard extension, and may not be
present on all systems. This causes the make to barf in the locate-
test script with:

find: -printf: unknown expression primary

    Fixed in CVS.

    Replace the -printf "%h\n" with a '-exec dirname '{}' ';'',
    which I searched the spec and it looks is posix compliant.
