The subject was that someone was reporting apparent malfunction of GNU m4
in a qemu-user environment. It is perfectly OK to mention other malfunction=
s,
that might be relevant
  a. for the m4 program itself,
  b. for "make check" failures =E2=80=94 recall that GNU m4 bundles gnulib =
tests.

Also, please don't tell me what is on-topic and what is off-topic on
bug-gnulib. I can judge that better than you.
