And if we were POSIX compliant he wouldn't have to.
And he would also be happy if our script would somehow set the shell to be executed. This we typically do with the shebang (#!) line at the very beginning of the script, but not so for that autoconf part. It is a very reasonable request, IMHO. There is another side to it. I think that by addressing this trivial-to-fix issue we are hardening our environment. And any such hardening is good as it may help to find other hidden issues. In that spirit I pointed to to https://www.shellcheck.net/ in the GitHub thread, and also https://cppcheck.sourceforge.io/ is something I would like see adopted for our CI, eventually.
