It seems to be a dash vs. bash issue, given that  it can be worked around
by setting CONFIG_SHELL=bash for the ./configure run.

dash recently became capable enough that autoconf scripts don't just do
'exec bash ./configure' anymore, so things like bashims in configure.ac
now break the build. See for example #582098 and #582374.

The control characters in  magick/magick-config.h are pretty strange,
I wonder if the number 1 is interpreted as an ASCII value somewhere. Can't
easily spot how, though.
