Examining the /usr/share/autoconf/m4sugar directory, it appears that there is a 
frozen m4sh.m4f file.

Looking at the autoconf package, I guess that these are generated by the 
autoconf-2.63/lib/m4sugar/Makefile, because they are mentioned in the 
Makefile.am file as follows:

  nodist_m4sugarlib_DATA = version.m4 m4sugar.m4f m4sh.m4f

  ## ------------------ ##
  ## The frozen files. ##
  ## ------------------ ##

  m4sugar.m4f: $(m4sugar_m4f_dependencies)
  m4sh.m4f: $(m4sh_m4f_dependencies)
  include ../freeze.mk

Deleting /usr/share/autoconf/m4sugar/m4sh.m4f causes the updated m4sh.m4 to 
take effect.

It would be better for frozen files to be placed in /var/cache/autoconf and 
then make used to rebuild them in the event that the m4 sources in 
/usr/share/autoconf become newer.
