Concept ACK. It seems the proper way to achieve |

Is there a way to turn the warning into an error? We use dash in the CI, but no one is going to read the logs to find those errors. |

On my Gentoo system, because this particular mistake is so common, I have a post-configure check on all builds: It's a brittle check, but it's helped me catch and fix at least a dozen Bashisms in various packages. |

Code review ACK cf72925 Obvious agree that it would be good if these kind of errors were actually fatal errors. |

cf72925 configure.ac: remove Bashism (Matt Whitlock) Pull request description: Configure scripts are supposed to adhere to the POSIX shell language. The POSIX `test` builtin does not implement an `==` operator. Bash does, but not all systems have Bash installed as `/bin/sh`. In particular, many systems use the lighter-weight Dash as the default POSIX shell. Dash emits the following error when running `configure`: ``` ./configure: 39065: test: xno: unexpected operator ``` This PR removes the Bashism and restores correct operation with POSIX-compliant shells like Dash.
