[Toybox] making ./configure executable.

[Ryan Prichard]

FWIW: I think the problem is the double-equals operator:

$ /bin/dash -c 'if [ x = x ]; then echo foo; fi'
foo

$ /bin/dash -c 'if [ x == x ]; then echo foo; fi'
/bin/dash: 1: [: x: unexpected operator

$ /bin/dash -c 'if /usr/bin/[ x == x ]; then echo foo; fi'
foo

POSIX hasn't specified ==. I'm guessing it's strictly equivalent to =?
