The issue is that echo(1) with a backslash character is not portable.
This particular use of echo with a backslash character used to work the
same way across shells and is widely used in configure scripts in a
large number of packages (specifically: any that use AC_SUBST_FILE). It
was changed by commit 776424a8 (parser: Add dollar single quote) without
that commit indicating that this would change; are you really sure this
should not be viewed as a bug? The impact will be massive.
