Description Jim Meyering 2011-04-02 13:03:12 UTC
Description of problem: m4-1.4.15 is now rejected by upstream autoconf.git's configure script.

Version-Release number of selected component: m4-1.4.15-2.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible: every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/autoconf \
     && cd autoconf && autoreconf -vi && ./configure

Actual results:
  ...
  checking for GNU M4 that supports accurate traces... configure: error: no
  acceptable m4 could be found in $PATH.
  GNU M4 1.4.6 or later is required; 1.4.16 or newer is recommended.
  GNU M4 1.4.15 uses a buggy replacement strstr on some systems.
  Glibc 2.9 - 2.12 and GNU M4 1.4.11 - 1.4.15 have another strstr bug.

Expected results:
./configure exits successfully
