Avoids a dash issue by using /bin/echo instead of the echo builtin in the
creation of fake.rb in Makefile.in

The error seems to be caused by a difference between bash's echo builtin and
dash's echo builtin (dash's interprets the \\, resulting in a single \ in the
output). A fix is to use /bin/echo instead of the builtin echo. The attached
patch is enough to fix the issue.
