These failures are both in gnulib code, and gnulib has had quite a few improvements since m4 1.4.16 was released; perhaps one of these improvements has worked around an AIX issue. Meanwhile, upstream gnulib documents that AIX 6.1 and newer are occasionally tested, while AIX 5.1 and newer (including your 5.3) is rarely tested; I wouldn't be surprised if the problems still persist in upstream gnulib because your platform is so old. At any rate, if you are willing to help contribute to gnulib to port to your platform, we can follow up on the gnulib list on how best to go about addressing these test failures. And in the meantime; it's probably just fine for you to install your just-built m4, in spite of the test failures, as m4 probably won't tickle those particular bugs. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
