m4-1.4.11 strtod test failure

[Bob Friesenhahn]

Under Solaris 10U4 x86, m4's strtod test blows up.  Hopefully the code 
does not now rely on Linux glibc's strtod irritatingly "wrong" 
behavior related to supposed "hex" values.  I see that the lines which 
fail include a comment which lists all of the known operating systems 
in the universe except for Linux. ;-)

With these failures is m4 still ok for most uses or should I avoid 
installing it?
