Ok, I figured it out. 

The first line of build.sh is:

        #!/bin/sh

So it's a portability issue. The echo -e command prints -e as part of
the text to print.
Type "man sh". 

Everything works if I type them from a terminal command line (which is
GNU bash).

All the configure scripts created by Autoconf are bin/sh. This is what
Adrian was saying.
