Building GNU m4 1.4.18

I start with the same considerations from the post Building GNU libtool 2.4.6. The GNU m4 library is sometimes used on GNU buildings so I add it to my crazy list of GNU software to manually build.

The basic building strategy and general assumptions have been detailed on a previous post: Staged Building, so I'll (hopefully) get more straight to the point:

$ pwd
/stage/build

$ ./gnu-build-preparation ../source/.../m4-1.4.18.tar.xz
...

$ cd m4/m4-1.4.18

$ source ../setenv 64

CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/bin/bash

CC=/usr/bin/gcc CFLAGS=-m64 -march=core2 -std=gnu89

CXX=/usr/bin/g++ CXXFLAGS=-m64 -march=core2 -std=gnu++03

LD=/usr/bin/ld LDFLAGS=-m64 -march=core2

PATH=/opt/gnu/bin:/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=

Suggested build sequence:

Fine-tune/fix config.h.in, Makefile.in and others...

$ ./configure \
  --build=x86_64-pc-solaris2.11 \
  --prefix=/opt/... \
  ...
 
$ gmake -j3

For IPS package:

$ sudo gmake DESTDIR=/stage/prototype/m4/1.4.18/64 install

For immediate use:

$ sudo gmake install
$ sudo zfs snapshot -r .../opt/...@m4-1.4.18

$ ./configure \
        --build=x86_64-pc-solaris2.11 \
    --prefix=/opt/gnu \
    --with-libsigsegv-prefix=/opt/gnu \
    --with-syscmd-shell=/usr/bin/bash

NOTE

The building process of the whole (or most of) GNU tools is rather intincated because there are kind of circular dependencies. For instance, many tools depend on Perl which at this time is still the old stock version packaged with Solaris 11.3. This means that later, when I finally get Perl updated, I would have to rebuild the dependent tools to update all outdated dependencies. This difficulty, together with default setting of i386-pc-solaris2.11 in Solaris 11.3 makes building 64-bits targets more intrincate and it seems not uncommon to produce failures on some test suites (from gmake check).

The building process is virtually the same for 32-bits artifacts but I don't perform it because the build would require the 32-bits libsigsegv installed under /opt/gnu which I particularly don't have as I'm exclusively focusing on 64-bits artifacts.
