configure scripts need to be runnable with a POSIX-compliant /bin/sh.
On many (but not all!) systems, /bin/sh is provided by Bash, so errors
like this aren't spotted. Notably Debian defaults to /bin/sh provided
by dash which doesn't tolerate such bashisms as '=='.
This retains compatibility with bash.
Fixes configure warnings/errors like:
```
checking for cheev_ in -llapack... yes
./configure: 8590: test: x: unexpected operator
checking how to print strings... printf
```
