Ok, this runs ok now.
But after i run the make i get this:
m4.c: In function 'fault_handler':
m4.c:151: error: 'STDERR_FILENO' undeclared (first use in this function)
m4.c:151: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
m4.c:151: error: for each function it appears in.)
make.exe[2]: *** [m4.o] Error 1
make.exe[2]: Leaving directory `U:/m4-1.4.12.16-307f/src'
make.exe[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make.exe[1]: Leaving directory `U:/m4-1.4.12.16-307f'
make.exe: *** [all] Error 2

Sorry for being such a pain in the (*)
but it;s hard to get up to dated for a Os that nearly is dying but i try 
to keep along as much that is possible.
That means i run a lot in the back compare to other os!
