This is strange. It could mean that GNU m4's state freezing
functionality is broken on your platform. When I check the OpenPKG "m4"
package from CURRENT under FreeBSD I get the following:
| $ which m4
| /openpkg-dev/bin/m4
| $ m4 --version
| GNU M4 1.4.7

| $ m4 --help |grep reload

Can you compare this with your "m4", especially the "--reload-state"? If
it is not existing, can you tell me what platform this is under and what
the complete build output of the "m4" package is?
