In configure.in, there are many places like:

... = ... `echo $some_flag_variable` ...

which, if $some_flag_variable starts with something which "echo"
recognizes as its options, may cause problem.

In our case, FreeBSD 3.0 echo (built into "sh") treats "-e" as an
option (for "expand escape sequence").

Maybe, something similar to "echo" but does no option handling should
be used (by defining shell function?).
