[PULL 2/2] configure: Use -ef to compare paths
Posted by Paolo Bonzini 5 days, 4 hours ago
From: Akihiko Odaki <akihiko.odaki@daynix.com>

configure checks if it is executed in the source directory by comparing
the literal paths, but there may be multiple representations of a
directory due to symbolic links. Use the -ef operator to tell if they
point to the same directory.
