I'm working on an Apple Mac-mini M1. I installed M4 1.4.18 in /usr/local.

% /usr/local/bin/m4 --version
zsh: abort      /usr/local/bin/m4 --version
% /usr/local/bin/m4 -V
zsh: abort      /usr/local/bin/m4 -V
<give up>

When I attempt to build/install autotools:

configure:2800: checking for GNU M4 that supports accurate traces
configure:2855: result: /usr/local/bin/m4
configure:2858: checking whether /usr/local/bin/m4 accepts --gnu
configure:2869: result: no
configure:2880: WARNING: the version of M4 that was found does not support -g
configure:2882: WARNING: using it with POSIXLY_CORRECT set may cause problems
configure:2886: checking how m4 supports trace files
configure:2897: result: --error-output
