Hi Eric,
I ran 'make check' and got the following :
>make check
make check-recursive
Making check in bin
Making check in .
Making check in lib
Making check in Autom4te
Making check in m4sugar
make check-local
Making check in autoconf
make check-local
Making check in autotest
make check-local
Making check in autoscan
Making check in emacs
Making check in doc
make: Makefile: line 436: Warning -- FSUM9433 Duplicate entry [fdl.texi] in
prerequisite list
Making check in tests
make check-local
cd ../lib/autotest && make autotest.m4f
`autotest.m4f' is up to date
autom4te_perllibdir='..'/lib AUTOM4TE_CFG='../lib/autom4te.cfg'
../bin/autom4te -B '..'/lib -B '..'/lib --language=autotest -I . -I . suite.at
-o ./testsuite.tmp
m4:local.at:18: bad expression in eval (bad input): ((?+1+0) > (2+0)) -

No testsuite.log file was created.
I appreciate your help and support. Thoughts from here?

Very likely that this is related, if not the cause. However, I don't
have access to an EBCDIC machine to debug things, so you'll probably
have to do the debugging yourself.

No, but then again, no one else has ever written this list stating that
they are using autoconf on an EBCDIC machine. So there may be lots of
things that need tweaking to work correctly.
I suppose you could start by running 'make check', and then pasting the
testsuite.log of the failing tests, if that might contain hints of where
things are going wrong.
