m4 is a macro processor that is part of the POSIX standard. It is commonly used as a dependency for building other software, particularly:
- GNU Autotools (autoconf, automake)
- GNU Bison
- Various build systems and code generators
This build provides a portable, static version of m4 that can be used on systems where m4 is not available or where a specific version is required.
