For some strange reason there are versions of Bash in which the builtin
cd command echoes the full path to the destination if it differs from
the parameter given; eg if cwd is /builds and one does cd gnupg-0.4.2
one sees
$ cd gnupg-0.4.2
/builds/gnupg-0.4.2
$
I don't know who finds that useful, but anyway, it breaks the configure
script. The following patch unbreaks it:
