I don't see anything particularly wrong with your patch. However, I
wonder exactly what problem you're trying to solve.
It shouldn't be necessary for you to need m4 to build egcs -- unless
your actually making patches to configure.in and friends. Is that
the case you're trying to make work better for you?
