Comment (by kencu):

 please make a reproducer where "m4" fails to configure on Leopard for you
 (the bare "m4", not the macports port m4).

 I tried making a long long folder name and starting the configure inside
 there, and it still succeeded -- but perhaps there is some longer one that
 might fail.
