[patch] 1.5.26 do echo=echo if necessary


From: Thien-Thi Nguyen
Subject: [patch] 1.5.26 do echo=echo if necessary
Date: Sat, 08 Mar 2008 18:35:03 +0100
User-agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/23.0.60 (gnu/linux)

Earlier today, i built Libtool 2.2 and was ready to install it,
but then had second thoughts about using it w/ Automake 1.9.6.
So, i built Automake 1.10.1 and saw "make check" result in 14
errors.  Investigating the first of these, depcomp4.test, i see
that for some reason, testSubDir/libtool around line 810 uses
`$echo', but the shell variable `echo' has no value.  This is w/
Libtool 1.5.24, so i built Libtool 1.5.26 and installed it, in the
blind hope that "Bug Fixes" (in the NEWS) would include some
relief.  Alas, no.

So, below is a quick patch that seems to work.  Here is a
ChangeLog entry for this tiny change:

        * ltmain.sh: Prior to parsing the command line
        "once, thoroughly", make sure shell variable
        `echo' has some sane value.

I hope it (or a more suitable reworking) will appear in a 1.5.x
release.  That way, i can then install Automake 1.10.1 w/ Libtool
1.5.x, and subsequently Libtool 2.2.x, for peace of mind.
