2.2.14.
I got m4 via CVS from subversions.gnu.org on 2000-03-12; the last
ChangeLog entry is from 2000-01-16. When I tried to build it, I
got the following error:
| Making all in src
| make[5]: Entering directory `/home/kalle/i386-pc-linux-gnu/Build/FOREIGN-CVS/m4/src'
| make[5]: *** No rule to make target `/home/kalle/src/FOREIGN-CVS/m4/lib/libm4.la',
|needed by `m4'. Stop.

| make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/kalle/i386-pc-linux-gnu/Build/FOREIGN-CVS/m4'
I looked for libm4.la and found it in the build directory, not in
the source directory. I changed m4/src/Makefile.am (patch at end
of message) and got past this, but then there was another error
in m4/modules/:

Another change fixed that, and the package then built properly.

* src/Makefile.am (m4_LDADD): Take libm4.la from the build tree,
not from the source tree.
* modules/Makefile.am (LIBS): Likewise.
