My guess is that the FreeBSD 7 host has a stray /usr/include/spawn.h. There shouldn't be such a file, but if you try to upgrade to 8.x and then downgrade back to 7.x the file is left behind, and this messes up configuration. Try removing the stray file. Or, if you don't have root access, try './configure ac_cv_header_spawn_h=no'. For more details, please see <https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?&t=15775>.

Since FreeBSD 7 isn't being maintained any more, this would be low priority for us to fix even if it were a bug in m4 or gnulib.
