[m4-1.4.11] build feedback

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

I've just built and installed m4-1.4.11 on most machines in our test
lab of about 20 flavors of Unix covering most major CPU architectures.

Here is a summary of the failures:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Machinetype:            DEC Alphastation 200 4/100 (1 CPU, 100 MHz Alpha 21064 
EV4, 64MB RAM);    GNU/Linux 2.4.19-xfs-gentoo-cd
Configure environment:    CC=/usr/bin/gcc CFLAGS="-mieee" CXX=g++ 
CXXFLAGS="-mieee"
