I've been building m4-1.4.10 on emerge -Duv system, and m4 failed to build with error like this: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -std=gnu99 -Os -march=pentium-m -mtune=pentium-m -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -o m4 m4.o builtin.o debug.o eval.o format.o freeze.o input.o macro.o output.o path.o symtab.o stackovf.o ../lib/libm4.a ../lib/libm4.a(vasnprintf.o): In function `vasnprintf': vasnprintf.c:(.text+0x840): undefined reference to `decimal_point_char' vasnprintf.c:(.text+0x87e): undefined reference to `decimal_point_char' vasnprintf.c:(.text+0x8dd): undefined reference to `decimal_point_char' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [m4] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/m4-1.4.10-r1/work/m4-1.4.10/src' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 Then I've tried to build m4-1.4.10-r1 - same error. I've googled and found solution which fixed compilation error.
