Hi Team,

I'm writing this mail in request to know whether gm4 version (from 1.4.6 to latest) can be upgraded in Mac M1 Chip 2020 model.

When I'm trying to install my project setup, I'm facing the following error: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/gm4: unrecognized option `--gnu'

I know the version present in gm4 after installing the Command Line Tools in my system using xcode-select --install doesn't support --gnu option.


gm4 --version

GNU M4 1.4.6
