[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 8/8] configure: do_compiler: Dump some extra info under bash

[Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com>]

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

The information may be lacking in other shells, resulting in harmless
empty output.  (This is why we don't use the proper ${FUNCNAME[*]}
array syntax - other shells will choke on that.)

The extra output is only printed if configure is run with bash.  The
something), it is necessary to say   bash ./configure  to get the extra
debug info in the log.
