Thanks for the report.  However, you've truncated it; the actual
failure occurred somewhere in lines before what you pasted, and
without seeing the actual error, we cannot diagnose whether it is a
known issue or something new.

It is already known that we need a new m4 release (it's been a couple
years since I last put time into doing one of those, and gnulib has
some improvements that I need to incorporate); but since m4 is overall
a stable code base, it hasn't yet risen to the top of my TODO list to
put the time into making that release.
