There's your problem.  This is a known issue, and already fixed in m4.git:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-m4/2008-12/msg00019.html

The GNUwin32 folks need to apply this patch:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=d8374ab

or you can build a more recent snapshot while waiting for me to release m4
1.4.13:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-m4/2009-01/msg00008.html

You could also try a different port of the GNU tools on Windows; I much
prefer cygwin over GNUwin, and can vouch that cygwin does not suffer from
the problem of Microsoft's stupid introduction of SIGABRT_COMPAT.
