The problem is not with "-quoting but with builtin echo, I think.

0 pkgsrc>/bin/bash -c 'printf "%s\n" '"'"'\1'"'"
\1
0 pkgsrc>/bin/dash -c 'printf "%s\n" '"'"'\1'"'"

Real problem is somewhere in libtool-1.5.22/configure script (or aclocal.m4)
because after './configure-ing' stage local version of libtool executable
already contains 0x01, 0x02 etc. bytes inside instead of literal \1, \2 etc.
I assume this is due to 'echo' but I cannot show exact line[s] now.
