Disabling Job Control or Enabling Minimal Config Breaks Build

[Adam Pippin]

Bash Version: 4.2

Description:

I downloaded a fresh copy of bash 4.2 from the GNU project archives (
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.2.tar.gz), configured with:

    ./configure --disable-job-control --enable-minimal-config
--disable-readline

(Self-Serving Explanation: I'm attempting to debug another issue with this
system at the moment related to bash seemingly masking out the SIGWINCH
signal and not acknowledging terminal resizing.
http://serverfault.com/questions/452340 if anyone's feeling generous and
wishes to take a look.)

However, it seems both --disable-job-control and --enable-minimal-config
break the build.

Specifically, using --enable-minimal-config seems to disable aliases. This
causes an error in parse.y:

    /Users/chet/src/bash/src/parse.y: In function 'shell_getc':
    /Users/chet/src/bash/src/parse.y:2399: error: label 'pop_alias' used
but not defined
    make: *** [y.tab.o] Error 1

Looking at parse.y, the problem seems pretty clear. The label `pop_alias'
is not defined if ALIAS is not defined. However, about 15 lines down there
is a `goto_popalias' statement with no such condition.

The issue with --disable-job-control seems like it may be similar, however
I did not take the time to look any further in to it.

    execute_cmd.c: In function 'execute_pipeline':
    execute_cmd.c:2205: error 'job_control' undeclared (first use in this
function)



Repeat-By:

* Download a copy of bash 4.2.
* Configure with either or both of '--disable-job-control' and
'--enable-minimal-config'.
* Attempt to build.

Replicated on Debian and Ubuntu. Unfortunately I don't have access to any
other family of OS at the moment to ensure this isn't related to that
somehow, however it doesn't seem like it would be.
