Please keep the list in the loop.

According to Jorma Karvonen on 10/16/2009 1:02 PM:

You failed to mention your platform, but config.log states:

> hostname = 2(SERVFAIL)
> uname -m = i686
> uname -r = 2.6.18.8-0.13-default
> uname -s = Linux

> gcc (GCC) 4.3.4

It would also be nice to see the condensed output of running ./configure;
config.log has everything, but it doesn't make it easy to pinpoint where
you are first seeing unexpected failures.

Meanwhile, this is the first suspicious message in the log:

> /tmp/ccJTzTZJ.s: Assembler messages:

> /tmp/ccJTzTZJ.s:2316: Error: symbol `fstat64' is already defined

Are you sure your compiler is installed correctly?  I've never seen this
sort of failure before, but it seems like something on your system and
unrelated to the m4 package, since stat64 and friends are large-offset
aliases managed by your system headers and not referred to in the m4 tarball.
