Sometime during the 7.19 release, configure was changed to use a macro $as_echo that used a shell to do an eval instead of echo for writing out status.
Unfortunately that's controlled by autoconf that generates the configure script and not by the source script (configure.ac) we write. Thus the bug must've been introduced when I upgraded autoconf on the machine I use to build releases on... Can you check the top of the configure script of the last one you know works and see what autoconf version number it says?
Would it be possible to get a change in the configure script to detect and accommodate OpenVMS?
It already tries to detect the best way and if it does it wrong now, it is an autoconf bug. I did a quick google but I couldn't find any other mention of poeple having this problem with autoconf on OpenVMS though...
