28	m4: RPM build fails to process `m4_esyscmd` macro	dmik		"I found that version `m4-1.4.16-4.oc00` seems to expand the `m4_esyscmd` macro to nothing instead of executing its arguments as the shell command and taking its output. This breaks many scripts that use this macro for maintaining the version number (i.e. autoconf, automaker, m4 itself) like this:
{{{
AC_INIT([GNU M4], m4_esyscmd([build-aux/git-version-gen .tarball-version]),
  [bug-m4@gnu.org])
}}}
This in turn makes `autoconf` to fail in AC_INIT when generating `configure`."	defect	closed	major					fixed
