m4-1.4.11: Failure of `126.diversion'

Hi,

On GNU/Linux (NixOS), I observe the following failure:

  Checking ./126.diversions
   <at>  ../doc/m4.texinfo:4711: Origin of test
  ./126.diversions: stderr mismatch
  --- m4-tmp.17114/m4-xerr        2008-07-01 13:21:45.000000000 +0000
  +++ m4-tmp.17114/m4-err 2008-07-01 13:21:45.000000000 +0000
   <at>  <at>  -0,0 +1,2  <at>  <at> 
  +m4: ERROR: copying inserted file: Broken pipe
  +m4: write error

The thing is run by a build daemon in a chroot with no `/tmp'.

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks in advance,
Ludovic.

Yes.  Your buildbot is ignoring SIGPIPE.  This has been previously
reported, and the testsuite in the latest git version already works
around such enviornments (even though I personally don't like
running with SIGPIPE ignored, because of the extra error messages
that it tends to produce).

Hmm, I found commit 546109144ee2014257166698df2a0a9d14526a5a, which
removes SIGPIPE from the `kill' example, but that dates back to before
1.4.11 AFAICS.  Maybe that's another problem here?

Thanks,
Ludovic.

Unrelated to the problem at hand.

Much more recent:

OK, works like a charm.

Thanks!

Known bug in your glibc, and not in m4.

Thanks for the report.  Unfortunately, you snipped the interesting bit -
which tests failed; you also omitted any description of your system (which
OS, compiler, etc).  Furthermore, there are newer versions of m4 out
there.  Would you please try either m4 1.4.11, or a more recent snapshot?

What are the permissions on /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/bin/m4?  Do you
have permissions to install software for everyone on that machine?  If
not, then read INSTALL, which mentions using
~ './configure --prefix=/path/to/alternate/tree'
