Libtool tries a number of alternatives to echo: ksh's print, `printf
%s', a helper script as follows:

cat <<EOF
$*
EOF

and I recall having suggested an awk-based approach, but we never got
to implement it because it was never necessary.  I'm not sure we try
echo -E, though.  It would probably be nice to do so.
