that's what you get for blindly copying configure.ac fragments.  The
following works instead:
I had to tighten the $enable_vtable_verify test to guard against a
non-no argument to --enable-vtable-verify being interpreted as yes.

Tested by just running gcc/configure without and with
--enable-vtable-verify, and with --enable-vtable-verify=nonstd (handled
as no).

Ok now?

Thanks.
