automake-1.10.1 fails missing & missing2

[Tim Rice]

Please CC me in replies as I am not subscribed.

UnixWare 7.1.4 w/ MP4
automake-1.10.1
autoconf-2.63
m4-1.4.9

I'm trying to track down why the missing and missing2 test fail.
The complete output of 
"gmake -C tests VERBOSE=x TESTS='missing.test missing2.test' -e check"
is attached.

The interesting part seems to be
autom4te263: /opt/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 63

The help screen for m4 (m4-1.4.9) says
.....
Exit status is 0 for success, 1 for failure, 63 for frozen file version
mismatch, or whatever value was passed to the m4exit macro.
.....

autoconf-2.63 was recently built using that version of m4.
A quick check of autoconf's .m4f files shows
......
$ head -1 `find . -name "*.m4f" -print`
==> ./autoconf/autoconf/autoconf.m4f <==
# This is a frozen state file generated by GNU M4 1.4.9

==> ./autoconf/autotest/autotest.m4f <==
# This is a frozen state file generated by GNU M4 1.4.9

==> ./autoconf/m4sugar/m4sh.m4f <==
# This is a frozen state file generated by GNU M4 1.4.9

==> ./autoconf/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4f <==
# This is a frozen state file generated by GNU M4 1.4.9
......

So is this an automake, autoconf, or m4 issue?

Any tips how to track this down?

Thanks.
