Bison-3.4/m4/m4.m4 defines the AC_PROG_GNU_M4 macro definition

# AC_PROG_GNU_M4

# Check for GNU M4, at least 1.4.6 (all earlier versions had bugs in

# trace support and regexp support):

# https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2006-11/msg00096.html

# https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2009-07/msg00023.html

# 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.
