Glad to know.

Sorry, but I don't understand your last sentence at all.
The Debian m4 package is made from the last officially released m4
tarball, namely, m4-1.4.17.tar.xz. In general, we don't make our own
tarballs, and definitely not for the m4 package.
If this fails for us, it will fail for everybody using m4 1.4.17 and
perl 5.22.
So I would suggest that m4 1.4.18 is released soon.
Thanks.
