I think I figured out the problem. When I run `make -d`, I see problems like: Prerequisite `m4/extern-inline.m4' is newer than target `aclocal.m4'. Must remake target `aclocal.m4'. Apparently it doesn't like the fact that I modified extern-inline.m4 more recently than aclocal.m4. I have never ru

RE: Unable to install M4 1.4.17 using PGI 15.10 compilers

Something seems wrong here and it's not my version of Autotools. When I download a fresh copy of M4 1.4.17, I am able to install it with GCC and Intel without any trouble. The only problems I was having were with PGI. But with the proposed patch, I am now unable to install M4 with GCC, Intel, or
