If you care to investigate, you'll notice quite a few commits to OpenBSD m4 since OpenBSD 3.5. And guess what ? most of them have been to fix autoconf

behavior. And guess what ? the ports tree tracks OpenBSD-current, not
OpenBSD 2.0...

What you've done here is send people on a red herring's chase. I spent some time looking at that automake port, and figuring out why tests were wrong. Luckily, I noticed the gnumake checks, instead of embarking on autoconf

tests.

autoreconf-2.59: automake failed with exit status: 255

Guile's autogen.sh works when autoconf 2.59 is built with GNU m4.

Well, Guile's autogen.sh still fails with the same error message that I got a couple of months ago when /usr/bin/m4 from OpenBSD-current is used: Automake::Channels::msg('automake', '', 'unrequested trace `include\'') called at /usr/local/share/automake-1.9/Automake/ ChannelDefs.pm line 191 Automake::ChannelDefs::prog_error('unrequested trace `include \'') called at /usr/local/bin/automake-1.9 line 4675 Automake::scan_autoconf_traces('configure.in') called at / usr/local/bin/automake-1.9 line 4874 Automake::scan_autoconf_files() called at /usr/local/bin/ automake-1.9 line 7475

OpenBSD improves all the time. You've actually stumbled on some of the
areas where problems have already been fixed.

It seems that there's still room for improvement ;-)

I've attached the autoconf and automake ports that I use.
