Joerg,
do you mean with something like

> done`"

Is printf supported by all shells [used for configure]?

By the way, what is quite peculiar about the 'echo -n' problem, is that 
I believe there is an anomaly with the wrapper process.

On my system, which is illumos based, I have pkgsrc coreutils installed 
(which, being gnu, has a compatible echo supporting '-n').

But the wrappering ignores what mk/tools/replace.mk should have put in 
place, in this case '/opt/local/bin/gecho' hence the bug.

Perhaps the real problem could/should be fixed as opposed to patching in 
a bandage...
