Any hints as to what could make the tests fail when run as part of the M4
git tree and not otherwise?

I don't envy you debugging that, but I have seen similar discrepancies
for directory-style tests when my two source trees are in different file
systems; perhaps that might explain your rmdir results.  For the strtod
stuff the HAVE_DECL_STRTOD discrepancy is odd; perhaps you can look in
the logs and see why that is.

I never bother using older autoconfs, so I can't be of much help with
anything older than autoconf 2.67.  If an upgrade to that version fixes
the problem, then evidently there would be some use in gnulib that assumes newer autoconf.
