 Yes, however now it appears on plain sparc- targets, not sparcv9-
 because of some config.guess hackery that was eventually reverted.
 (See the 4/18 comment I added to the PR description field.)
 
 Sorry if this is confusing, but there was a short period where some
 unrelated patches were installed which changed the meaning of sparc-
 vs sparcv9- vs sparc64-.  After the dust settled, it was reverted by
 rth.  But I had reported the problem while my host temporarily called
 itself sparcv9-.
 
 Now that's gone and you should see the bug on sparc-sun-solaris2.7.  I
 updated the PR to explain that but I guess I wasn't clear or needed to
 cc you directly.  Sorry if I caused you to waste some time but
 hopefully you can reproduce the problem using the right target.
