Hi,
Thanks for the report. I confess I'm a bit surprise: autoconf does
check that it is using GNU M4 (both 2.13, the latest release, and the
version in development).
Could you be more specific: what version of autoconf are you running,
what gives `` sh -x `which autoconf` '' etc. Anything that could
actually help us understand what happens.
