Ok, I figured it out.
The first line of build.sh is:
#!/bin/sh
So it's a portability issue. The echo -e command prints -e as part of
the text to print.
Type "man sh".
Everything works if I type them from a terminal command line (which is
GNU bash).
All the configure scripts created by Autoconf are bin/sh. This is what
