Unfortunately, because I don't have access to your build environment (a
CRAY C90) it's extremely difficult for me to comment constructively on
any problems you encounter. The only things I can suggest are

    1.  Try again from a clean slate, i.e.

        a.  Go to the top-level source directory.

        b.  Execute `make distclean'.

        c.  Execute `./configure --prefix=<whatever>'.

        d.  Execute `make'.

    2.  Contact the GNU m4 people and ask for their help.  The README file
        should have their email address.
