This one I haven't seen before.  Checking m4-14s.zip.  Drat - seems
like the DJGPP package for m4 was built with changeword disabled :-(
I'll upload a new m4 package shortly.

This is caused by your SHELL variable.  libc's system() is only smart
enough to handle advanced shell features (such as the here-docs used
from m4 in autoconf 2.50) if SHELL is a _full path_ to a unixy shell
(including extension).  So if you now have SHELL=/bin/sh or
even SHELL=$DJDIR/bin/bash, you'll need to change it to include the
.exe extension (I'd suggest /dev/env/DJDIR/bash.exe).
I thought I had this in README.dj, but it turns out I only have a
comment about this in the config.site. *grmbl* Guess I should have
done a short public beta first.

Thanks for trying it out!
