Upgrade to m4-1.4.5
Did you run the testsuite? It seems not. There are known failures which
upstream are aware of (see m4 lists). Should be fixed in 1.4.6.
This version of m4 also causes failures in the Autoconf testsuite (again,
mentioned on the m4 lists).
Well, I let jhalfs run with all the testsuites enabled and it didn't
bail out, so I assumed it hadn't hit any problems. I'll check my logs
when I get back tonight. Thanks for the heads up, Greg.
OK, so jhalfs appears to be adding a '-k' when running `make check'.
That's not really very nice, guys, as it a) doesn't follow the book and
b) means errors aren't spotted at their earliest opportunity.
Greg, I can confirm that tests 079 and 082 both fail in LFS-trunk, as
reported upstream. It looks like they'll be releasing m4-1.4.6 shortly
to fix these problems.
In the meantime, if jhalfs guys could remove the addition of '-k' to the
`make check' commands, or at least make it a configurable parameter, I'd
very much appreciate it.
Regards,
Matt.
