(Which would be good since I don't think I *have* autoconf on this 
platform :-).)

I was able to get a build to complete in m4's lib/ (using the lib/* 
sources from coreutils-6.4, and after hacking on stdint_.h because I was 
using the old Makefile*'s), after dealing with the outstanding bug 
mentioned in the thread I just started on gnulib's list. I have to go 
somewhere pretty quick so I may not get to the rest of m4 (and I haven't 
even started coreutils yet) tonight, but I wanted to let you know.

FYI: You probably know this, but the patch you pointed me at did not 
apply at all (I think one hunk in total went through), so I had to apply 
the changes by hand.

Thanks again.
