Stefano,
A fresh pull with "git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/m4 -b branch-1.4"
properly handled the bootstrap command. Thanks.
The resulting build after ./configure on darwin12 fails with...

unless I rerun './configure --enable-gcc-warnings' which I assume is done for

I can confirm that the resulting build of m4 branch-1.4 doesn't show this

and later...
============================================================================
Testsuite summary for GNU M4 1.4.16.36-197b

So hopefully m4-1.4.17 can be released soon to eliminate this problem.
