Rather, I was asking about m4-1.4.15/tests/test-suite.log, or at a very 
minimum, the six FAIL: lines from 'make check' output in your m4 build 
directory.

No you aren't, because there's no such cygwin version.  However, I 
tested a build of m4 1.4.15 on cygwin 1.7.7, and could not reproduce any 
failures (although I did see several skips due to cygwin's incomplete 
locale support), so I'm not sure why you are getting different behavior.

Cygwin currently includes pre-built m4 1.4.15 and gmp 4.3.1 as optional 
development packages; rather than compiling these packages from source, 
and having to repeat any porting efforts yourself, have you considered 
just using the pre-built binaries already available from cygwin?  If you 
need more help on how to use cygwin's setup.exe to install gmp and m4, 
then ask on the cygwin mailing lists.

Cygwin questions are better directed to the cygwin mailing list, cygwin 
AT cygwin DOT com.
