Hmmm.  That's what I would expect.  Where do you have a reference to $echo
in libtool, ltmain.sh and ltmain.in?  I thought I had eliminated all of them
when I synchronised all of libtool's scripts on $ECHO. :-(

I still can't reproduce it, and the only references to $echo are in the
configure time m4/ directory.  At build and runtime libtool uses $ECHO
exclusively:

] grep -l '\$echo' m4/* config/*
grep: m4/CVS: Operation not permitted
m4/libtool.m4
grep: config/CVS: Operation not permitted
] grep -l 'echo=' m4/* config/*
grep: m4/CVS: Operation not permitted
m4/libtool.m4
grep: config/CVS: Operation not permitted
] find +build -type f -exec grep -l '\$echo' {} \;
+build/config.status
+build/tests/cdemo/config.status
+build/tests/demo/config.status
+build/tests/depdemo/config.status
+build/tests/f77demo/config.status
+build/tests/mdemo/config.status
+build/tests/mdemo2/config.status
+build/tests/pdemo/config.status
+build/tests/tagdemo/config.status
] find +build -type f -exec grep -l '\$ECHO' {} \;
+build/libtool
+build/libtoolize
+build/tests/cdemo/libtool
+build/tests/defs
+build/tests/demo/hell
+build/tests/demo/hell_static
+build/tests/demo/helldl
+build/tests/demo/libtool
+build/tests/depdemo/depdemo
+build/tests/depdemo/depdemo_static
+build/tests/depdemo/libtool
+build/tests/f77demo/libtool
+build/tests/mdemo/libtool
+build/tests/mdemo/mdemo
+build/tests/mdemo/mdemo_static
+build/tests/mdemo2/libtool
+build/tests/mdemo2/mdemo2
+build/tests/pdemo/hell
+build/tests/pdemo/helldl
+build/tests/pdemo/libtool
+build/tests/tagdemo/libtool
+build/tests/tagdemo/tagdemo

So the only references to $echo in my tree are from config.status (in turn
from libtool.m4), and I use $ECHO all over the place, and my entire testsuite
passes, so it must be set correctly too...

Not too much help for you though.  Sorry :-(

Cheers,
        Gary.
