FreeBSD Port: m4-1.4.8_1

[Karl Friesen]

This version of the m4 port fails to build on versions of FreeBSD that
are using /usr/bin/makeinfo version 4.6 (i.e. FreeBSD 5.5 and earlier).  There
are constructs in doc/m4.texinfo that cause makeinfo 4.6 to choke.

It's not causing any serious problems, but I thought that you should know...
