Then that's the most likely cause.

Updating is advisable.  M4 1.4.8 is the current version.  It has
many bugfixes over 1.4.2, and there are a couple of tricky cases
where the latter is known to fail (in conjunction with autoconf).

If you excuse a small plug: Automake 1.10 and (unreleased) Autoconf 2.62
will both help to eliminate a large part of config.status execution time,
compared with the 1.9.6/2.59 combo (OpenMPI was used for testing here):
