Both of these failed tests come from gnulib (added in cc); I'm not sure
if they have been fixed in the meantime (in which case, you just need to
wait for an eventual m4 1.4.19 that uses a newer gnulib) or represent
problems that others will still hit.

But on the bright side, it probably does not represent an actual bug in
your just-built m4.
