Somehow you've enabled the xpg_echo option, either by configuring

Yes, I did "--enable-xpg-echo-default" as I need echo "ok\c" to work.

The older bash-3.00.15(3) works with "--enable-xpg-echo-default".


So, it is possible to have both the following working in "sh" and "bash"

        echo -n "ok"
        echo "ok\c"

    printf "%s" "ok"
