Well, I installed what was a few days ago the most recent sparc64
snapshot, and doing a build.sh run fell over:

| dependall ===> texinfo
[...]
| checking for alloca... yes
| checking for working strcoll... yes
| checking for vprintf... yes
| checking whether setvbuf arguments are reversed... /usr/src/tools/texinfo/../../gnu/dist/texinfo/configure: 2692: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "fi")
| *** Error code 2
| 
| Stop.
| nbmake: stopped in /usr/src/tools/texinfo
| *** Error code 1
| 
| Stop.
[further make(1) cascade snipped]

I'm updating sources as I type this, and once that's done I'll try
again.  I suppose what I'm really wondering is, are such things worth
mentioning, either on the list or with send-pr, or are problems
building sparc64 on sparc64 still "don't do that, then"?
