Libtool elder than 2.2 creates configure script that defines ECHO but 
uses $echo, which is undefined. Apparently there is no other problem, 
however. So while libtool-2.2 was masked in Gentoo for problems wih many 
other packages I simply used an elder version, and then called sed to 
downcase ECHO in the generated configure. Heimdal then built and tested 
well.

I think I've even reported that already, haven't I?
