Unfortunately this is a known issue. For this reason, we are offering snapshot
tarballs.

The newest created (snapshot) tarball is available through the Gitlab UI
https://gitlab.com/gnu-m4/ci-distcheck
 > CI/CD > Jobs > Finished (check-optimized)
 > Job artifacts > Browse > m4-snapshot.tar
or directly through the following command sequence:
  wget -O m4-snapshot.tar 
'https://gitlab.com/gnu-m4/ci-distcheck/-/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/m4-snapshot.tar?job=check-optimized'
  tar xf m4-snapshot.tar
