Bug#318866: csu/Makefile uses unspecified echo behavior



Package: glibc
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22

In csu/Makefile, the rule to produce version-info.h uses echo to display
"\n", but the handling of backslashed by echo is not standard, and there are
variations among the builtin echo of the /bin/sh variants available on
Debian:

/tmp $ cat > try_echo
echo 'foo\nbar'
/tmp $ bash try_echo 
foo\nbar
/tmp $ dash try_echo
foo
bar
