[Help-bash] extended-glob required by cond-command

[Joel Ebel]

Is it expected that the extended glob feature is required to compile with
the cond-command feature? Using bash 4.4.18, I fail to compile if I
configure with "--disable-extended-glob --enable-cond-command" More
specifically, I'm compiling with "--enable-minimal-config
--enable-cond-command" but I was not expecting that extended glob would
also be required.

Thanks,
Joel

Yes. The == operator performs pattern matching. For compatibility with
ksh93, that pattern matching uses extended globbing unconditionally.
