autoconf relies on the following snippet to generate a CRLF character:

echo X | tr X '\015'

which is broken in uutils-coreutils and returns a 0:

uutils-tr

$ echo X | tr X '\015' | /bin/xxd
00000000: 300a                                     0.

gnus tr:

echo X | tr X '\015' | /bin/xxd
00000000: 0d0a                                     ..
