 Hi, I'm a newbie to macport on tiger 10.4.11 with ppc G5.
 Trying to build gcc 4.6.2, on dependency ppl-0.11.2
 End of main.log in opt/....../ppl/main.log
 {{{
 :info:configure checking for GNU M4 that supports accurate traces...
 configure: error: no acceptable m4 could be found in $PATH.

 }}}
 There a m4.m4 in ppl/m4 checking that and /usr/bin/m4 with tiger is only
 1.4.2
 An install of m4 correct the problem.
 Thanks for your attention.
