lsh_writekey doesn't like overwriting existing key files (it opens
them with O_EXCL). What behaviour would you prefer? Not using O_EXCL?
Improving the error message? Adding a --force flag?
Anyway,
rm ~/.lsh/identity ~/.lsh/identity.pub && lsh_keygen | lsh_writekey
should work.

You're right. A newer m4 is needed only for generating some files in
the src/testsuite.
