Details:

When doing a build of the system, autoconf fails to build with error:

make[5]: Entering directory
`/home/jdonoghue/mxe-octave/tmp-build-autoconf/autoconf-2.69.build/lib/m4sugar'
autom4te_perllibdir='/home/jdonoghue/mxe-octave/tmp-build-autoconf/autoconf-2.69'/lib
AUTOM4TE_CFG='../../lib/autom4te.cfg'         ../../bin/autom4te -B
'../..'/lib -B
'/home/jdonoghue/mxe-octave/tmp-build-autoconf/autoconf-2.69'/lib
                                \
                --language=m4sugar                      \
                --freeze                        \
                --output=m4sugar.m4f
autom4te: freezing produced output:
autom4te: ^M

make[5]: *** [m4sugar.m4f] Error 1
make[5]: Leaving directory
`/home/jdonoghue/mxe-octave/tmp-build-autoconf/autoconf-2.69.build/lib/m4sugar'


If I delete m4.exe from the usr/bin directory, it builds fine, so is probably
really a problem with the new mxe m4 package.

Full log of the autoconf build attached.
