Description
Summary of the bug:
How to reproduce:
# link /bin/sh to zsh % ./configure ./configure:6493: parse error near `}'
There is a semicolon missing before the closing bracket in the openal check. Other shells seem to gloss over that slight mistake but zsh, when run as sh, seems to be very strict.
A look into the manual of dash, which claims to be the most POSIX compliant shell, shows that grouped command lists must always be finished with a semicolon. I believe this is also what POSIX says but have not found the text to back up this claim, yet.
