The following shell statement:

  if eval "echo \$$_feature" = "yes" ; then

executes:

  echo $... = "yes"

It does not actually compare the variable named by $_feature to the
string "yes".

Add the missing "test" call so the comparison happens as intended and
wrap the eval so it doesn't include the = "yes".

Fixes: 3e48f7c9de61 ("configure: fix syntax error with NetBSD")
