Description Hiroki Sato freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2008-03-23 16:20:00 UTC 
	GNU m4 1.4.9 has a known bug involving division of negative
	numbers so needs to be updated.  This breaks some software
	which depends on GNU m4 like cad/pcb.

	1.4.10 is not the latest version and still has the same bug,
	but the attached patch should fix it and it works.  Although
	upgrading m4 would be problematic since many software depends
	on it, the effect from upgrading to 1.4.10 is small enough.
	This patch to fix the bug has already been submitted to the
	upstream and accepted.

Does the patch-src-eval.c apply to 1.4.9 as well?  Even if we're not
upgrading perhaps we can at least put just that fix in.

 This patch works for 1.4.9 as well.

 I heard from Ade that he is planning to upgrade this after a test run
 on the package building cluster, BTW.
