Sorry.  I take them as soon as it's agreed to by config-patches.

It's a directory name, not a list, yes.  But all directories always imply

Try --enable-debug-configure.  The sysdeps directory list is an ordered
list of many directories.  That gets */sparc/sparc32/sparcv9 if it exists,
followed by */sparc/sparc32 if it exists, followed by */sparc if it exists.
Since something can't exist without its containing directory existing too,
you'll always get a trailing subset of that list.


Thanks,
