[sr #110273] New test suite failures of 2.69b on OpenBSD 6.5

[Paul Eggert]

Follow-up Comment #5, sr #110273 (project autoconf):

There's no 'gmake' on my OpenBSD 6.7 platform, so I assume you built and
installed your own copy of GNU Make. One possibility is that you need to be
consistent about which 'make' you're using, e.g., './configure MAKE=gmake'. Or
you might try building with OpenBSD 'make', e.g., './configure && make && make
check'.

By the way, I used the default PATH except with a directory containing GNU m4
1.4.18 at the start. I didn't add anything other than GNU m4.

> To me, it smells like 'gmake' has set some environment variables, and the
test is invoking 'make', and 'make' interprets this environment variable in a
strange way.
Yes, that sounds right. GNU Make sets MAKEFLAGS=w in the environment, and
presumably this confuses OpenBSD Make.
