There are other occurrences of this bashism as on other configure.ac:

sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/le/configure.ac:66:AS_IF([test "$libc_cv_compiler_powerpc64le_ldbl128_mabi" == "no"],
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/le/fpu/multiarch/configure.ac:12:AS_IF([[test "$libc_cv_mcpu_power10" == "yes"]],[

Should we fix it them as well?

Beside LGTM, thanks.
