The problem was indeed related to that message.  Somehow this file in my base/configure/os got changed.  I changed it back:

Your “wrong” configuration is the APS Accelerator IOC’s “right” configuration and hence how the EPICS source code normally comes. If you can you might want to rename your old vxWorks-6.9 directory to something else to catch this sooner in case it happens again with another release; or just remove the original 6.9 tree completely and make that a soft-link to the newer release.
