Within 068, you could use the shorter ../../../tests/m4 rather than
setting M4MODPATH and giving that long executable name.

Anyways, what does ktrace show on that run?

looks okay to me; it seems like the fpurge should be called.

Good luck figuring out what changed.

Yes, how about running
 gnulib-tool --with-tests --test fflush

and seeing if all three tests pass (or, if the fflush test fails,
hopefully it gives better insight into why rpl_fflush isn't doing what we
thought it should).
