That doesn't give the same output: the original puts each of $0 and the 
$@'s with single quotes around them in the config file, yours misses out 
the quotes.   Replacing the original echo -n, printf and echo like this 
would work though:

   echo "# Configured with:$(printf " '%s'" "$0" "$@")" >> $config_mak

If the OS X shell doesn't do $(...) then this will work, albeit at the 
cost of readabilty

   echo "# Configured with:"`printf " '%s'" "$0" "$@"` >> $config_mak

(those pesky backquotes are harder to see and for the ultra-picky it's 
not quite the same thing).
