Because the use of 'echo' is not always portable, so newer autoconf guarantees a safe fallback (such as printf) in case it has detected that your shell's echo does not fit autoconf's needs. > The real problem appears to be that his > "ac_link" variable has AS_ECHO in it instead of echo, which seems like > it would cause problems to me. > > For the record, I am using autoconf 2.60 and M4 version 1.4.5, and he is > using autoconf 2.62 and M4 version 1.4.11.

It looks like you are reporting a regression that occurred sometime between 2.60 and 2.62. Could you please check whether 2.63 also has the bug, so we can fix it? - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
