Are there any comments at using M4=m4 during final system bison and  
flex installs? M4 will be hard coded to /usr/bin/m4 in bison and flex.

It's fine for the final system; however, if someone wants to use a  
different m4 binary in another path, the M4 variable will need to be  
used rather than m4 searched in the PATH if the user modifies it to  
point to any location they wish.

Sincerely,
