Please have a look at what the autoconf manual has to say on echo vs. printf:

https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/autoconf.html#Limitations-of-Builtins

That's the reason configure has switched to use printf instead, which my 
testing in https://reviews.llvm.org/D63600 confirms: echo
is a nightmare in cross-platform use.  Besides, there are already many uses of 
`printf` in the testsuite, so there's no reason to be reluctant
about this one.  Besides, there's no reason whatsoever that the test wouldn't 
fail again on the next target due to issues with echo.
