Have you relibtoolized your tree?  The acinclude.m4 and ltdl.[ch] are from 
libtool HEAD branch.  There must be something slightly screwy with your build 
since it works for me (srcdir == builddir):

$ ./testsuite -v -d 21
==========================
Test suite for GNU m4 1.4q
==========================
21. ./others.at:646: testing modpath2...
./others.at:654: M4PATH=$top_srcdir LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH=$top_builddir/modules 
$M4
-m load -d modules/modtest.m4
21. ./others.at:646: ok
===========================
All 1 tests were successful
===========================

I have only seen this error message when the module loader happens to find a 
binary with a name that matches the module it wants to load, and discovers 
that (of course) the entry points are not available.  FOr example if the 
M4MODPATH is wrong, m4 (the binary) tries to load m4.la and actually finds m4 
(itself) and dlopens that instead :-/

I can only suggest that you take a completely clean checkout of the whole 
source tree and try again... maybe this will fix your commit notification 
problem too?

It appears that I am seening a different set of failures to yours:

  ===============================================
  ERROR: Suite unsuccessful, 5 of 74 tests failed
  ===============================================

  Writing `debug-NN.sh' scripts, NN = 6 15 35 43 67, done

  You may investigate any problem if you feel able to do so, in which
  case the test suite provides a good starting point.

  Now, failed tests will be executed again, verbosely, and logged
  in the file testsuite.log.
