Hello,

Tried compiling m4 on a sun4v platform and received an error when running 'make check':

Checking ../../../src/m4-1.4.19/checks/stackovf.test
Stack soft limit set to 300K
Failure - m4 aborted unexpectedly
Output from m4:

The configure command was:

../../src/mv-1.4.19/configure --enable-c++ --disable-largefile

Version information:

GNU m4 version: 1.4.19
Compiler version: cc: Studio 12.6 Sun C 5.15 SunOS_sparc 2017/05/30
Operating System: Solaris 11.3.36.24.0
uname -a: SunOS enterprise 5.11 11.3 sun4v sparc SUNW,T5140

Also tried compiling with GCC 4.8.2, but same error when running 'make check'.

Expected output:

The test completes successfully.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Kind regards,
