We are perhaps miscommunicating.  The issue is not whether you call
the script directly with a shell or indirectly via the shebang (IMHO,
it doesn't matter).  The issue is rather that `bash' supports a bunch
of extensions that other shells don't have.  For this reason,
`configure.ac' shouldn't contain any bashisms.  A bare-minimum POSIX
shell implementation like `dash' might catch them.
