OK, Let's hope that your echo will not drop anything if the first arg
passed to it is a non-option (such as "args:"). If so, the attached
patch should work for everyone (it does for me).
Clever hack to change the 1st arg to echo ...
However, not-POSIXLY_CORRECT rearrangements _SHOULD_ cause
argument permutation with, say,
/bin/echo args: A -b C -d --foo --bar
afaict that may exhibit the same failure lossage as before. Dunno,
non-POSIXLY_CORRECT
echo(1) argument processing definition(s) I'll leave to LSB-53,
"unspecified" behavior
is gud enuf for me.
The better fix (for me as well as popt) is to get a non-Fedora
enhanced /bin/echo ... todo++.
