However, since m4-1.4.11 has 3 authors, you could work around it by rewriting
the version_etc function to accept author names explicitly:

Huh?

$ m4-1.4.11 --version | tail -n1

Oops.  Looking in the wrong directory.  *blush*

But your comments about rewriting version_etc, taking one explicit author instead of three, might work. However, there are other uses of va_arg in the
m4 source, so I'm not sure that a rewrite would help.

Indeed.  I didn't bother to check whether the other instances could be
"unrolled" by hand too. Quite right that papering over the cracks probabl
won't work here though.

 It would be interesting
to see version-etc.c after pre-processing.


Yes indeed!  Joseph please attach version-etc.pp.gz as generated by the
following to your next reply:

$ cd src
$ gcc  -I. -E version-etc.c | gzip -c > version-etc.pp.gz

Cheers,
        Gary
