The box is a four-processor (400MHz UltraSPARC II) Sun Enterprise
E5500 file server with 1GB RAM; its load average is invariably well
below 1.0.

I haven't investigated why the first $MAKE invocation triggers the
config.status rule.

We are running GNU make 3.79.1.

Here are the two reruns of the two previously failing tests: three
pass, and one fails.
