At least NetBSD's m4 up to the current release (2.0) does not know -s.
The user could install GNU m4 but then it would still only work if it
were first in $PATH, which can in turn lead to mysteriously different
behaviour between different users.

It's all a pity since the -s option seems really useful. I'm not quite
sure myself what to do.
