I have it! The difference is not whether I'm testing trunk or branch,
the difference is whether the host is
 % isainfo -v
 64-bit sparcv9 applications
 32-bit sparc applications
which is okay, or
 % isainfo -v
 32-bit sparc applications
which is where this configure test breaks. (I didn't notice this before,
for the two boxes I've been using for many months are supposed to be
completely identical.)
