Oh dear.  I thought zsh was sane enough to do the right thing when argv[0] == 
/bin/sh =(O|  I take it that it is zsh builtin echo that is the culprit here. 
 Does /bin/echo work correctly?

Well, I have a couple of ideas for a workaround... 

You could try forcing a different shell:  CONFIG_SHELL=/other/shell 
/other/shell ./libtool blah...

Or else forcing the use of the slow fallback echo: ./libtool --no-reexec 
--fallback-echo blah...

If either of these (or a variation) works let me know, and we'll see if we 
can find a way to fix the echo tests so that the failure mode you are 
experiencing can be fixed properly.

Cheers,
        Gary.
