Furthermore:
- SVR2 (1984):
- shell functions (sh)

I didn't find any documentation about POSIX. But bash --posix knows about
functions. And dash (ash) knows it, too (without the function keyword).
I really think this patch is good and harmless.
I put the test in a function because the BASH_LINENO (a bash builtin) exists
only in functions ! And as the original code uses functions, it doesn't matter
to add one more.
The original code uses the BASH_LINENO trick in order to produce #line
statements about the original em file into the generated C file. If BASH_LINENO
is available, the script use it. If not, it does not produce #line. The
BASH_LINENO trick is absolutely not mandatory. It just helps to get better
error report when there is a compilation problem in the em file.
Regards,
Vincent
