Ok, got GNU m4 as available from all GNU mirrors (GNU m4 1.4).

Now things look quite different:


./CVSMake running in /home/mai/compile/lesstif/lesstif
Running on:
Linux 2.2.16-SMP #1 SMP Fri Jul 7 21:19:30 CEST 2000 alpha
Using:
Autoconf version 2.13
automake (GNU automake) 1.5
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4.2 (1.922.2.53 2001/09/11 03:18:52)

The autoconf warnings(!) are independent of libtool 1.4.1 vs. 1.4.2.

Are my problems on that machine all triggered by broken m4 processors!?
