APR's configure script uses the below logic to select the appropriate 'echo'
command.
------
# The Solaris, AIX, and Digital Unix default echo programs unquote
# backslashes. This makes it impossible to quote backslashes using
# echo "$something" | sed 's/\\/\\\\/g'
#
# So, first we look for a working echo in the user's PATH.
lt_save_ifs="$IFS"; IFS=$PATH_SEPARATOR
for dir in $PATH /usr/ucb; do
IFS="$lt_save_ifs"
if (test -f $dir/echo || test -f $dir/echo$ac_exeext) &&
test "X`($dir/echo '\t') 2>/dev/null`" = 'X\t' &&
echo_testing_string=`($dir/echo "$echo_test_string") 2>/dev/null` &&
test "X$echo_testing_string" = "X$echo_test_string"; then
echo="$dir/echo"
break
fi
done
------
This sets echo to "/usr/ucb/echo".
