The fix exists in the 4.3.x codebase.

Thanks for fixing this. I no longer have access to a machine with Tcl 8.3 so I cannot confirm that the fix works for me.

This problem is fixed in the CVS code for findutils.
To resolve your problem, you could either wait for the
next official release of findutils, or check out a copy
of the code from the CVS repository for findutils.

This change has now been backed out - it broke "make distcheck".

I've checked in (in CVS) a modification to unix.exp that should relieve the reliance on tcl 8.4, but on the only tcl8.3 box I have, it still doesn't work. Please test and (if possible) diagnose on your system.

Probably the configure script should check for Tcl 8.4 and disable this test if necessary. Or the test itself could give a result 'skipped' rather than 'failed' if the necessary Tcl version isn't installed.

"file normalize" was introduced in Tcl 8.4. See for example http://tmml.sourceforge.net/doc/tcl/file.html
