No, you are expected to provide minimal information in bug reports.
Minimal information includes your OS and OS version as well as the
version of related software.  Since you were having trouble with bash,
including the bash version is required as well.  It's not the job of the
configure script to provide all of this information.  Its job is to
configure FFmpeg, not debug your environment.
