Ah, I found the culprit. But first off, the tag v1.12.4 isn't in the savannah git repo yet. (GNU) m4 when being called with the variable POSIXLY_CORRECT behaves differently as all GNU extensions will be suppressed. I recently populated this var in my shell setup because coreutils need it to work around some SysV quirks. So the workaround of the day (mostly a note to myself) is to unset POSIXLY_CORRECT temporarily when dealing with autotools.

I'd suggest you to update your m4 installation to the latest if possible. In the meanwhile, I'm closing this report, since we've determined your problem is not due to an automake or aclocal bug.

Yes, I will report this issue to the m4 guys. 1.9a has the -g switch and is newer than 1.4 anyway.

I agree a report to the m4 list might be a good move. But consider that the 2.0 m4 release has been put in the back burner "until further notice", so I'd still suggest you to only employ m4 versions in the 1.4.x series for the moment being; especially for any production use.

You self-built from m4.git, but built from the master (experimental) branch instead of branch-1.4 (stable releases); unfortunately, the experimental branch is just that, and doesn't yet play nicely with autoconf. I should probably find a way to reject any m4 version at autoconf's configure time if it doesn't support GNU extensions; meanwhile, I should also find time to fix m4.git to make the experimental branch not regress in relation to released m4. --=20 Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --------------enig8EFE305CEBFF064D54EBC582 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEbBAEBCAAGBQJQo5q6AAoJEKeha0olJ0NqriAH92Q46F6R659q+egznmzXRC2Z BDSH52AaLLo3wMBt8XLxYZ+PH4Jaiy6Q9ROWSMNiiRPenDfppjsAJ4apE8VZ3cVE j+q/LC9T1TgIZxjxwPSK2YE13VJUHhKXX2jq2Mv50XppMqhaQh7e4ZIdrcXqmScP dNiWesnJPbeE5qUYOPGGKvfBIulLHvBjep0dxsgYe9BOPZ4JOjbMn8flcrsG05r4 Lw7GTLLrl2siO16GKVtWzTOMDT/Z95yXlrtsAuomfc+3QKjL/LY5aK6bX4zhhhqX lh8cBK9zr3zAocFF0OlL7+yrNqFVHn91k1NDYCMVTl2EafIk4Y4K2tRUSSvfhA== =DmzP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig8EFE305CEBFF064D54EBC582-- From unknown Wed Aug 20 03:37:09 2025 Received: (at fakecontrol) by fakecontrolmessage; To: internal_control@debbugs.gnu.org From: Debbugs Internal Request Subject: Internal Control Message-Id: bug archived.
