That works only on ASCII based platforms, and it requires tr (which

Thomas,
Sorry if I was unclear. I am using "^M" here to represent the single
byte with an ASCII value 0x0D / 13 decimal, carriage return. I was
not referring to the escape sequence "^" plus "M".
This is what I was suggesting (something to consider):
ac_cr=`echo X |tr X '\015'`

Hello,
autoconf 2.63 has worked well for our project (icu), except for an
issue with a bare carriage return (hereafter '^M') in status.m4
which shows up in resulting configure scripts. The line in
question is:
ac_cr='^M'
