Exactly, that's the whole point. We build our own m4 version in
output/host/usr/bin. Maybe a fix is to upgrade our m4 version, but I
would prefer to understand the problem first.

Presumably because Ubuntu is odd/different/newer than other dists?

The config.log output is not very verbose, so you'll need to do the
configure tests by hand to see what fails - E.G.:

output/usr/vin/m4 -F conftest.m4f </dev/null should not output anything
and produce a conftest.m4f file.

echo 'changequote(<,>)indir(<ifdef>,mac,bug)patsubst(a,\(b\)\|\(a\),\1)dnl' |\
 output/host/usr/bin/m4 --trace=mac

should not output anything.

Could you test that?
