Why is this broken? The two lines have the same behavior with Bash 2.05.
It's true that you can't parse the latter line with other shells.
So perhaps what you're saying is that, if you use Bash 2.05 to
run 'configure', you're stuck with using Bash 2.05 to do everything
else, too?

Yes, that makes sense.
