Done, trying both GNU m4 1.4.14 and 1.4.16. There is still exactly the
same error:
configure.ac:110: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_GNU_M4
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.

The ones I've explicitly listed in my previous mail; for autoconf 2.67, it
is the system m4 (version 1.4.14, from debian package "m4 1.4.14-3"). But
with autoconf 2.68, I've tried also m4 1.4.16, with the same result.

I think you're referring to:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2011-04/msg00002.html>
and:
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8485>
but this issue shouldn't be relevant in my situation I think (and BTW the
bug is not yet fixed).
Thanks,
Stefano
