>Description:
For at least several weeks I have been unable to portupgrade m4 on two machines (both running 5.5 of similar vintages).  This interferes with portupgrading gnu-autoconf, gnu-automake, and bison, among others.

This is the error message toward the end of the make, when it fails:

Do a make in /usr/ports/devel/m4.
