Thanks for the report (it ended up off-list because of size restrictions
rejecting the uncompressed attachment). Here's some response to the
first few failures:

Ouch - where are we invoking sed in such a way that a missing variable
expansion resulted in an invalid sed script? Huh, this may be more
fallout of test 80...

The fact that there were literal BEL and BackSpace bytes (^G^H) in that
diff, rather than backslash sequences \a\b, makes me think that we're
botching echo detection for your shell. Can you look at
tests/testsuite.dir/080/script, and make sure there are no literal BEL
or BS bytes? And if that is the case (I hope it is, since autoconf is
supposed to generate machine-independent output), then it boils down to
a question of determining what your shell did during execution; showing
the complete output of
sh -vx tests/testsuite.dir/080/script
may help us get to the bottom of this.
I haven't looked any further at your failures, but if we can't even get
AS_ECHO right, I have no idea how many other testsuite failures are due
to fallout.
