Those lines are:

   archive_expsym_cmds="echo "{ global:" > $output_objdir/$libname.ver~
               cat $export_symbols | $SED -e "s/\(.*\)/\1;/" >> 
$output_objdir/$libname.ver~
               echo "local: *; };" >> $output_objdir/$libname.ver~
               $CC -shared $pic_flag $libobjs $deplibs $compiler_flags 
$wl-soname $wl$soname $wl-version-script $wl$output_objdir/$libname.ver 
-o $lib"

What those lines should look like, and look like on my local system 
after running configure:

   archive_expsym_cmds='echo "{ global:" > $output_objdir/$libname.ver~
               cat $export_symbols | $SED -e "s/\(.*\)/\1;/" >> 
$output_objdir/$libname.ver~
               echo "local: *; };" >> $output_objdir/$libname.ver~
               $CC -shared $pic_flag $libobjs $deplibs $compiler_flags 
$wl-soname $wl$soname $wl-version-script $wl$output_objdir/$libname.ver 
-o $lib'

config.status file is a file that gets generated by configure, so 
something is going wrong running configure with dash 0.5.13, and some 
more digging is needed to figure out where exactly it's going wrong.
