Segmentation fault when compiling m4 1.4.18

[Eve Armstrong]

Hi -

I encounter a segmentation fault when compiling M4. 

Platform: Windows 10.0.16299 Build 16299.

Compiler: 'make'.

Version of M4: 1.4.18.

Below is the transcript of the result and error message. 

I'd appreciate your help.

Thank you,

eve armstrong
