Did you try the modified version of m4?
I've been using this modified version rather than GNU m4. Plus a couple of
patches
to the m4 scripts. Rather than switch bison and other ports using bison to gm4.
Did add __gnu__ which removes one of the patches.
I seem to still have 1.28 of gtar
Had a look and between gtar 1.28 / 1.29 those extras are added in the source
provided, so matches upstream source.
onetop05.at doesn't exist in gtar 1.28
The original input file tests/onetop05.at contains (mkdir d1
the only time ( would be removed if it was a m4 macro parameter list, or had
been
set as a quote.
Updated to 1.29 and tried on amd64 (had to change tar.texi). Had installed
autoconf-2.69p1 package first (only autoconf version installed).

Not enough space, so disk full on one sparse file test.
Running dpb build, so extras are installed like bash.
The W^X haven't got that far yet, have no /usr/local need to re-arrange disks.

I can once finished build, switch to the old m4 your using and see what happens.
