[Xen-devel] [PATCH 16/16] configure: do_compiler: Dump some extra info under bash

[Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This makes it much easier to find a particular thing in config.log.

We have to use the ${BASH_LINENO[*]} syntax which is a syntax error in
other shells, so test what shell we are running and use eval.

The extra output is only printed if configure is run with bash.  On
systems where /bin/sh is not bash, it is necessary to say bash
./configure to get the extra debug info in the log.
