    scripts/Kbuild.include: Fix portability problem of "echo -e" · 875de986
    Bernhard Walle authored
    "echo -e" is a GNU extension. When cross-compiling the kernel on a
    BSD-like operating system (Mac OS X in my case), this doesn't work.
    
    One could install a GNU version of echo, put that in the $PATH before
    the system echo and use "/usr/bin/env echo", but the solution with
    printf is simpler.
    
    Since it is no disadvantage on Linux, I hope that gets accepted even if
    cross-compiling the Linux kernel on another Unix operating system is
    quite a rare use case.
