Is there a specific reason why the M4 examples are not installed?


Because no one has ever asked for them to be installed.


 I
suggest to add them.


Is installing the manual not sufficient for finding the examples?  Where 
would you suggest that the examples be installed?  Are you willing to 
prepare a patch?

Wow.  That's a failure in your system runtime, and not in m4 proper. 
There's nothing we can do on the m4 list to debug your broken system.  I 
suspect that the bug lies in the Windows Subsystem for Linux, and that 
you'll have to report it there.

Thank you,
