>Description:

man find does not describe an option -follow. It only mentions this option 
in STANDARDTS section. Quick check confirm that -follow is implemented, 
thus references to it in usenet are most probably correct.

 $ grep -i -- -follow /usr/src/usr.bin/find/*
/usr/src/usr.bin/find/find.1:.Ic -depth , -follow ,
/usr/src/usr.bin/find/function.c:       ftsoptions |= FTS_PHYSICAL;     /* disable -follow */
/usr/src/usr.bin/find/function.c:       ftsoptions &= ~FTS_LOGICAL;     /* disable -follow */
/usr/src/usr.bin/find/function.c: * -follow functions --
/usr/src/usr.bin/find/option.c: { "-follow",    c_follow,       f_always_true,  0 },

Sorry, don't know what it supposed to do, no patch this time.
