You're not root, right? I get this message doing the same sort of find
command ... unless I'm root.

I *think* - and someone will correct me if I'm wrong ... but you, as a
normal user, don't have access rights into the /proc directory. And so you
get this message, since find is trying to get into the /proc directory to
locate the cf.m4 file for you.
