Now you've lost me. OpenBSD m4 has a version number that is the same as GNU m4's version number? But they don't bother to have a --version option? Anyway, if this is an OpenBSD m4 compatibility issue, how about if you start by installing GNU m4, and using that? If that works, you're done, except perhaps for sending a bug report to the OpenBSD m4 guys. I know they want to be compatible with GNU m4, and would be happy to hear of any bugs in that area.
