Norman,
GNU m4 (gm4) is in /usr/local/bin/ by default on FreeBSD. We should probably
check the location of the m4 binary and its name before using m4 --version.
"/usr/local/bin/gm4 --version" works on FreeBSD 4.9.
Steve.

Norman,
The m4 --version command in bootstrap hangs the build on FreeBSD 4.9, i.e.
the code for checking for GNU m4 does not work. Can we only use GNU m4?
Steve.
