On which platform? That particular test comes from gnulib; it may be that gnulib has fixed the problem in the test to work around your platform (in which case, we just need a newer m4 release picking up newer gnulib) - but it's hard to tell when you don't provide enough details. > > Is this failure serious? M4 doesn't create symlinks itself, so no, this failure is more an issue with your platform being slightly different than what gnulib assumes (whether that was the fault of your platform or of gnulib), and you can still use your just-built m4 without worry. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3226 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
