Now that libtoolize requires an installed GNU M4 to parse configure.ac and aclocal.m4 sources for libltdl macros, let the user know at configure time when it is missing. * m4/m4.m4: New file for rejecting non-GNU and buggy GNU versions of M4. Copied from GNU Autoconf m4.m4. * Makefile.am (lt_aclocal_m4_deps): Add m4/m4.m4. * configure.ac (AC_PROG_GNU_M4): Call it. * NEWS: Update. Reported by Michael Felt Signed-off-by: Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>

# Also, check whether --error-output (through 1.4.x) or --debugfile (2.0)
|
|
# is supported, and AC_SUBST M4_DEBUGFILE accordingly.
|
|
# Also avoid versions of m4 that trigger strstr bugs.
