Hello.

m4 currently does not build on the i386 architecture because of two failing tests:

../build-aux/test-driver: line 119: 12409 Aborted                 "$@" >> "$log_file" 2>&1
FAIL: test-frexp-nolibm

[...]

../build-aux/test-driver: line 119: 13031 Aborted                 "$@" >> "$log_file" 2>&1
FAIL: test-printf-frexp

Full log here:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=m4&arch=i386&ver=1.4.19-6&stamp=1741201194&raw=0

I suspect of the new glibc (version 2.41) which was uploaded for Debian unstable recently,
as it has some improved floating point functions.

Thanks.
