Solaris is not my expertise either.
The attachment
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=34221&action=diff looks
reasonable.
So it is wrapping each $arg with double-quotes and a newline, then
inserting backslash before " or \ and then appending that value to the
ant_exec_args.
I do feel it is more readable to break it into multiple lines like that,
but I think the ordering may be off between the escaping and wrapping with
quotes.
Using the attachment change on ubuntu.
$ ./bin/ant --execdebug run
"-Dfoo=dollar\$backtick\`single'double\"backslash\\"
exec "$JAVACMD" -Xmx512m -classpath "$LOCALCLASSPATH"
-Dant.home="$ANT_HOME" -Dant.library.dir="$ANT_LIB"
org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher -cp "$CLASSPATH" "run"
"-Dfoo=dollar$backtick`single'double"backslash\"
./bin/ant: 1: eval: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution
I am using the double-quote description for ksh from this as guide to
special characters.

Going to play aroundmore. Maybe find a solarus box to test with as well
