HI All:

I found the bug!
I had to say sorry to m4 member, it isn't their bug, this bug is in automake-1.10.

bug description:
if you compile path is too long, it will cut some words at the end.

for example:
g++ -I/opt/ace/include -I/opt/cppunit/include -I../../../hbstock/include -O2 -o .libs/unitTest.exe unitTest.o configTest.o da
taTest.o technic_test.o DllObjectMangerTest.o  -L/opt/ace/lib -L/opt/cppunit/lib /opt/cppunit/lib/libcppunit.a -L/e/zhb_svn/m
ingw/build/hbstock_build/src /e/zhb_svn/mingw/build/hbstock_build/src/.libs/libhbstock2.dll.a -lintl -lACE -lws2_32 -lmswsock
 -lwsock32 -lnetapi32 -L/home/hbzhang/hbstock/lib

it will cut some words at the end, so that I can't compile my project.

I have test it successful using autoconf-2.61,automake-1.9.6 and m4-1.4.7, if I replace automake-1.9.6 with automake-1.10, it will occur error.

but m4-1.4.8 is only can compiled in gcc-2.95.3 and have some warning (m4-1.4.7 is no warning):

if you have no autotool envirnoment to test it in mingw, you can download it from :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-install

It worked fine for me to cross-compile on cygwin targetting mingw; in
fact, that was one of my criteria for a successful release. I haven't
changed any line-ending behavior in the 1.4.x series, so 1.4.8 should
behave similarly to prior versions of m4 compiled for mingw.

> Does anybody test it in Mingw ?

Yes. Also, my understanding is that Charles Wilson recently ported 1.4.7
to mingw; he will probably port 1.4.8 soon.

Why are you running ./bootstrap.sh? For that matter, what is contained in
bootstrap.sh (since m4 only ships with a bootstrap script, not
bootstrap.sh). What is wrong with the m4 tarball as is? bootstrap is
ONLY intended to be run if you are compiling from CVS, not from a release
tarball. And if you don't have an up-to-date CVS checkout of gnulib
handy, bootstrap.sh will fail. Or am I misunderstanding you, and you are
trying to demonstrate bootstrapping some other project, where you
installed version of m4 1.4.8 is not acting the way you suspected?

M4 1.4.8 does not use gettext. How are you picking up an instance of
m4/gettext.m4? That should not be happening.

> src/Makefile.am:14: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined

Likewise - m4 1.4.8 does not use libtool.
