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, Roland
