Hello,

the line lib/autoconf/status.m4:390:

echo 'cat >>"\$ac_tmp/subs1.awk" <<\\_ACAWK &&' &&

is according to the thread https://lore.kernel.org/dash/[email protected]/T/ not portable.  The behaviour of dash will likely be re-aligned to bash.  Portable will be print(1) or here-document.

Greetings
  Дилян
