Hi
m4 FTBFSes with newer glibcs (not sure whether it does with current
Debian eglibc) such as the one in Ubuntu (2.12). This is due to a
missing #include of sys/stat.h before usage of S_ISDIR() in src/path.c.
This is fixed in the upstream branch-1.4 branch, I've cherrypicked the
fix from 1359a849055a66eddffe7753485e0f29fb85ef31 and stripped the
ChangeLog and THANKS changes (since these easily cause conflicts).
Thanks for considering,

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Fix build on newer glibc.
POSIX allows, but does not require, that <fcntl.h> implicitly
includes <sys/stat.h>. Until recent glibc, most systems did
this implicit inclusion, and m4 was mistakenly relying on it.
* src/m4.h (includes): Add <sys/stat.h>.
Reported by Todd Rinaldo.
