If the shell is invoked as /bin/sh, it will be in "standards-
compliant sh mode", and echo won't interpret -n.

You're completely right
The reason for the /bin has to do with behaviors of different shells
in Tiger. Without writing /bin/echo, the 'echo' command is processed
as a shell built-in, and the results are different for bash and tcsh.

I see coreutils is at version 6.7, vs 5.96 in fink.
If the maintainer were willing to update, I would hope the need for

As mentioned on the new "preparing for 10.5" page on the fink wiki,
echo -n is now deprecated in fink. I have edited the vast majority
of packages where this occurs to conform to the new version. Instead of
echo -n "string"
one should now write
/bin/echo "string\c"
(See "man echo".)
