First good news: it is test singular - I think I got confused
reading testsuite.log, and yes it is NetBSD-current, autotools HEAD
from 12 December.  I tried the following patch to help track it
down, but didn't get anywhere - shouldn't I hope echo output to at
least end up in stdout? I thought that the other instances of RM
would at least have a character printed even if all variables were
empty.

This is a highlight of testsuite.log:
