  Target Milestone: ---

using buildroot on slackware 14.2_x86_64 I get this error:
checking for GNU M4 that supports accurate traces... configure: error: no
acceptable m4 could be found in $PATH.
GNU M4 1.4.6 or later is required; 1.4.16 or newer is recommended.
GNU M4 1.4.15 uses a buggy replacement strstr on some systems.
Glibc 2.9 - 2.12 and GNU M4 1.4.11 - 1.4.15 have another strstr bug.
