Thanks for the report. However, you omitted some crucial details. What system is this on? What were the six tests that failed?

Hmm - it would be nice if we could find the source of that spurious message and squelch it.
while executing make installcheck i got following errors ./stackovf.test: skipping test, no stack overflow support detected in m4 Skipped checks were: ./125.changeword ./126.changeword ./127.changeword ./128.changeword ./129.chan geword ./130.changeword ./stackovf.test All checks successful
That was not an error, just a list of skipped tests (because you didn't configure with the expensive --enable-changeword) and a warning that if you want stack overflow detection, you should probably consider installing GNU libsigsegv.
But your just-built m4 tested flawlessly; which means the earlier tests that you reported failures for are probably signs of gnulib testsuite weaknesses.
