Bug#630902: m4: FTBFS: FAIL: test-readlink (fwd)

[Santiago Vila]

Hello.

I have just received this from the Debian bug system.

I can't reproduce the failure on Debian "testing" (currently using
linux-image-2.6.38-2-amd64).

I can reproduce it, however, on the same Debian testing system if I
use the kernel currently available on "unstable" (linux-image-2.6.39-2-amd64).

Does this mean this is a kernel bug?

The build log says to report this failure here anyway, hence this report.
