If I try building m4 with eglibc 2.16 from experimental installed, I get this
build failure:
# source='clean-temp.c' object='clean-temp.o' libtool=no
gcc -std=gnu99 -I. -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g -O2 -fstack-protector --

Attached is a debdiff with a temporary workaround until the package is updated
from gnulib git.
