Rather than assuming a test with -ef is available, ISTM the portable
answer is not to depend on it at all.  Why not forget the whole thing
and use something like

  if [ `cd "$srcdir" ; /bin/pwd` = `/bin/pwd` ] ; then : ; else

This is a good change.  A lot of older "find"s don't provide a default
-print action at all (-o or no -o), so writing -print is the portable
way to use it.  I don't think you need two of them though.
