build: remove inconsistently used x-prefix comparisons

Given that these are already used inconsistently with `test` checks, it
makes sense to consolidate to not use the x-prefix comparisons at all.
In any case, it would be nice to think we no longer have to work around
a problem that existed in shells many, many years ago.
