In libtool from experimental, ECHO is set as follows in
/usr/bin/libtool line 161:
# An echo program that does not interpret backslashes.
ECHO="echo"
But in POSIX shells, echo is not guaranteed not to interpret
backslashes (and dash's echo does interpret backslashes). Thus e.g.
when building gtk+2.0 2.14.7-2 (which was libtoolized with libtool
from experimental), I found that a sed -n -e 's/^.* ... /\1 \2 \2/p'
had caused .libs/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.exp to contain literal \001 and
\002 characters.
Luckily, the solution is simple. Upstream commit a0283899e "Implement
$ECHO with print -r, printf or cat in a shell function." sets
ECHO='printf "%s\n"' when building libtool with either bash or dash as
sh, fixing the problem.
