You're saying that /opt/TWWfsw/m414/bin/gm4, which is mentioned in the 
error message, is GNU M4 1.4.12?

I should point out that M4 in your environment would cause Bison to use a 
different m4 than the one discovered by configure.

Do any other test cases fail?  Attaching a complete tests/testsuite.log 
and config.log might help us debug this.
