yeah. I tried it that way earlier with some success. A lot of consensus is to replace echo with printf. My initial attempt to do this though caused the .a and .so sections to have no contents after the library name.

Funny thing is it seems to work ok on 1 of the 3 lines. I'll play with this a bit in the future but for now just want to get compiled and running. x86 stretch image is ready to start building packages so i'll try to pull some repos in the morning to build whilst out tomorrow.
