The obvious solution for this would be for the toplevel configure to
detect (a la autoconf) where the installed version of gnu m4 is (it can
find a gnu m4 that is installed as gm4), and to use that.
Why is this not done?
Simply because, up until now, nobody cared.
I agree that what you suggest is the right solution. If somebody
writes the patch, we should install it.
