Because m4 uses gnulib. Sometimes a gnulib unit test failure DOES indicate a
problem that will be observable through m4 as well; and even if a gnulib unit
test failure does not indicate a problem for m4, it may indicate a problem for
other gnulib clients.
As it is, m4 only runs the gnulib unit tests for the actual gnulib modules in
use by m4, and not all possible gnulib unit tests.
