Thanks a bunch!  This looks like a reincarnation of a bug with ash I
reported (and believed fixed) quite some time ago:

| === Running demo-make.test
| Making in ../demo
*snip*
| /bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc  -g -O2   -o helldl 
-export-dynamic -dlpreopen libhello.la dlmain.o
| rm -f .libs/helldl.nm .libs/helldl.nmS .libs/helldl.nmT
| creating .libs/helldlS.c
| extracting global C symbols from `./.libs/libhello.a'
| (cd .libs && gcc -c -fno-builtin "helldlS.c")
| helldlS.c:12: error: stray '\1' in program
| helldlS.c:12: warning: useless keyword or type name in empty declaration
| helldlS.c:12: warning: empty declaration
| make[3]: *** [helldl] Error 1

Let me guess: Your /bin/sh is ash, and somehow libtool fails to find the
proper $echo (which should be != "echo").  Could you please post the
exact configure line you issued plus output, and config.log?

Thanks,
Ralf
