[PATCH] bootstrap: Use printf instead of echo -e for POSIX shells

On POSIX compliant shells, echo does not have the -e option.
This causes the "-e" to be echoed as well, causing potential buggy
build processes.
Example shell session:
-> % sh
$ echo -e "foo bar"
-e foo bar
$
According to POSIX, "\$" should be fine regardless due to the use of
double-quotes[1]. However, since printf is recommended over echo anyway,
we replace "echo -e" with printf where required.
