Michael, Just to elaborate a bit. There is a newer version of m4, that is attempted first. However, newer versions of GNU software now require the xz decompressor to unpack. In your scenario, an old version of m4 is being compiled. One of the reasons for choosing an older version is because of not being able to unpack the newer versions due to lack of xz. Odd though, as the latest m4 (1.4.18) is also available as .gz and bz2.
We'd need a larger part of the stage1 log to see why the newer versions didn't work.
