recursion limit of 1024 exceeded

[Dagobert Michelsen]

Hi,

I am currently trying to bootstrap gnulib on Solaris 10 x86 and get a m4
error "recursion limit of 1024 exceeded“, the m4 version is 1.4.18 and
should be the most recent one. It would be great if someone could have a look.



Best regards
