You might try a CVS version of GNU m4... from the ChangeLog:

2001-10-10  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

~        The trace semantics now attach the trace bit to a symbol name.
~        For as long as a traceon(`foo') is active, calls to foo will be
~        traced regardless of intervening undefines or module unloads.

In anticipation of your next question:

$ export CVS_RSH=ssh
$ cvs -d :ext:address@hidden:/cvs-2003-09-16/m4 co m4

:-)

Cheers,
        Gary.
