Curiously, however, I needed to quadruple-escape instead of double-escape in
order to fix the issue.

However, even after fixing that, I still the following error:

...
checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
An error occurred during initialization:
Module error: Don't know how to REQUIRE ASDF..
configure: error: The program ECL-MIN is not installed in your system
