On OS X Snow Leopard and up, the configure script has output like this:

{{{
-n Checking for platform macosx-c++...
supported
-n Checking for GNU make tool...
using /opt/local/bin/gmake
-n Checking for GNU install tool...
using /opt/local/bin/ginstall
-n Checking for dot (part of GraphViz)...
using /opt/local/bin/dot
-n Checking for perl...
using /opt/local/bin/perl
-n Checking for flex...
using /opt/local/bin/flex
-n Checking for bison...
using /opt/local/bin/bison
}}}

This patch fixes it by replacing "echo -n" with "printf".

MacPorts has recently started applying a similar patch (it might even be the exact same one, idk): https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/textproc/doxygen/files/patch-configure.diff?rev=103087
