I see the same test failure when building m4-1.4.11 on Irix 5.3 and 6.2
regardless of compiler used.

Irix 6.2 with MIPSpro 7.3.0 or GCC 4.3.0 (Indigo2 R10K):
test-vasprintf-posix.c:1309: assertion failed
/bin/ksh[9]: 10221 Abort(coredump)
FAIL: test-vasprintf-posix

Irix 5.3 with IDO 5.3 or GCC 3.4.6 (Indy R4600):
test-vasprintf-posix.c:1309: assertion failed
/bin/ksh[9]: 8508 Abort(coredump)
FAIL: test-vasprintf-posix
