Control: found -1 2.4.6-0.1 Control: retitle -1 libtool: generates binary data in config.log with dash due to buggy escaping
The problem occurs only with dash, e.g. when setting CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh in the environment and where /bin/sh is dash. The problem comes from: + echo configure:10030: /usr/bin/nm -B conftest.o \| sed -n -e 's/^.*[ ]\([ABCDGIRSTW][ABCDGIRSTW]*\)[ ][ ]*\([_A-Za-z][_A-Za-z0-9]*\)$/\1 \2 \2/p' | sed '/ __gnu_lto/d' \> conftest.nm With bash: $ echo '\1' | hd 00000000 5c 31 0a |\1.| 00000003 With dash: $ echo '\1' | hd 00000000 01 0a |..| 00000002 POSIX[*] says: if any of the operands contain a <backslash> character, the results are implementation-defined. So, the above code is not portable.
