AFAIK, g.echo is only required on Windows, and only by the build
system. From include/Make/Rules.make:
ifneq ($(MINGW),)
mkpath = $(shell $(TOOLSDIR)/g.echo$(EXE) $(1));$(2)
else
mkpath = $(1):$(2)
endif
Here, g.echo is used as a simple hack for converting filenames from
MSys format to Windows' native format. MSys' shell converts filenames
when passing them to an executable which isn't part of MSys; g.echo
just writes its sole argument (which will already have been converted)
to stdout.
