Hi Masami,

Very sorry for the late reply.

We may not avoid fixing related failures after your change:
1) We have to reuse built-in echo (do alias echo=echo) if we want to 
test common_pid for histogram.
2) We have to reuse built-in echo if some new tests want to interpret 
backslash escapes in future.

Is it simple to provide two implementations of echo?(built-in echo and 
echo command?) and then just apply echo command for kprobe_syntax_errors.tc?

BTW: My suggestion may not be correct.
