Use ‘echo’ safely with ‘\’ or leading ‘-’
POSIX says that ‘echo FOO’ produces implementation-defined output if FOO contains leading ‘-’, or ‘\’ anywhere, so don’t assume GNU behavior in that case. * Makefile.in (removenullpaths): Remove. (epaths-force): Rewrite to avoid the need for ‘echo’. (install-etc): Be clearer about escaping the shell metacharacters ‘\’ and ‘$’. * Makefile.in (install-arch-indep, install-etcdoc): * admin/charsets/mapconv, admin/merge-gnulib, admin/merge-pkg-config: * admin/quick-install-emacs, build-aux/gitlog-to-emacslog: * configure.ac, lib-src/rcs2log, make-dist: * src/Makefile.in (lisp.mk): Don’t assume ‘echo’ outputs ‘\’ and leading ‘-’ unscathed. For example, use ‘printf '%s\n' "$foo"’ rather than ‘echo "$foo"’ if $foo can contain arbitrary characters. * lisp/Makefile.in (TAGS): Use ‘ls’, not ‘echo’, to avoid ‘\’ issues. * doc/lispref/two-volume.make (vol1.pdf): * test/etags/make-src/Makefile (web ftp publish): Use ‘printf’ rather than ‘echo -e’.
