Rather than trying to guess which implementation of "echo" to run with support for "-ne" options, use "printf" instead of "echo -ne". It handles escape characters as a standard feature and it is widespread among modern shells.
Reported-by: "kernelci.org bot" bot@kernelci.org Suggested-by: David Laight David.Laight@ACULAB.COM Fixes: 3297a4df805d ("kselftests: Enable the echo command to print newlines in Makefile") Fixes: 79c16b1120fe ("selftests: find echo binary to use -ne options") Signed-off-by: Guillaume Tucker guillaume.tucker@collabora.com ---
Notes: v2: use printf insead of $(which echo) v3: rebase on top of fix with $(which echo)
