 There's a shell builtin for it. When configure thinks that's missing,
 it creates a "configure.lineno" script with the line numbers baked in
 and then runs that. If sh is getting it wrong it would be nice to find
 out why, even though it's probably unrelated to the real problem.
 
 (Unless the problem in both cases is that it's running some other
 configure script than the one you're looking at, I guess...)
