No, it isn't. That's a bug in Solaris and should be treated
as such. So I simplified included your workaround:

    http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/mingw-cross-env/rev/91dfe368ef31

This is the new requirement section:

These old m4 versions contain a bug that explains the issue:

    http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg01879.html

According to local tests, this bug is fixed in m4-1.4.5 or before.

Could you download and install a more recent m4 from source?

    http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/

The current version (1.4.13) should work, but it would be
great if you could check the versions 1.4.4 and 1.4.5,
too.
