Hi,


Just encountered a problem into the git-buildroot. (after a new-build)

The build stops with the error "GNU M4 1.4.6 or later is required;
1.4.13 is recommended"

The version I have installed is 1.4.11. .. this should be ok (according
what is being displayed into the error)
And the version build into the buildroot is 1.4.9 (if i'm not wrong).



Regards Noel
