https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/m4-announce/2026-02/msg00000.html
This release is being made mainly to cater to recent glibc changes in
light of the C23 language standard. However, it also includes fixes
for some corner-case bugs in eval and when using the defn macro on
builtins.
Fixes m4-native builds on hosts with glibc-2.43 like:
./stdlib.h:827:20: error: expected identifier or '(' before '_Generic'
./string.h:777:20: error: expected identifier or '(' before '_Generic'
Remove 0001-gettext-h-Avoid-gcc-Wformat-security-warnings-with-d.patch
which is included in gnulib revision used by m4 since:
https://gitweb.git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=m4.git;a=commit;h=beee8d26382460010338c37f9dd9f823aa9f4ee8
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM was updated for barem4.m4 and testbarem4.m4 from:
https://gitweb.git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=m4.git;a=blobdiff;f=examples/COPYING;h=e623b2b9394cbd1784a4964bbac105050296f33b;hp=7e73a1219b542fa035facc47cdb3dd81132e6373;hb=900a90f624cee4a8c1c02c4d6a61ef1ed26a17d1;hpb=c7b96d682958532c4eb2d5c2d81bb6ac342fd410

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix discarded const qualifiers
+
+It's unsafe to implicitly discard the const qualifier on a pointer. In
+overlay_fixup_phandle(), this was probably just an oversight, and making
+the "sep" variable a const char * is sufficient to fix it.
+
+In create_node(), however, the "p" variable is directly modifying the
+buffer pointed to by "const char* node_name". To fix this, we need to
+actually make a duplicate of the buffer and operate on that instead.
+
+This introduces a malloc()/free() and an unbounded strdup() into the
+operation, but fdtput isn't a long-running service and the node_name
+argument comes directly from argv, so this shouldn't introduce a
+significant performance impact.

There are new license in the example files barem4.m4 and testbarem4.m4, it just
