tools: m4: update to 1.4.20

2025-05-17T09:44:34Z

New m4 release was made after a long time, for us most importantly it ships newer gnulib so it compiles against GCC15 without forcing GNU17. * Noteworthy changes in release 1.4.20 (2025-05-10) [stable] ** Fix a bug in the `eval' builtin where it does not suppress warnings about division by zero that occurs within a more complex expression on the right hand side of || or && (present since short-circuiting was introduced in 1.4.8b). ** The `syscmd' and `esyscmd' builtins no longer mishandle a command line starting with `-' or `+' (present since "the beginning"). ** Fix regression introduced in 1.4.19 where trace output (such as with `debugmode(t)') could read invalid memory when tracing a series of pushed macros that are popped during argument collection. ** Fix regression introduced in 1.4.19 where the `format' builtin inadvertently took on locale-dependent parsing and output of floating point numbers as a side-effect of introducing message translations. While it would be nice for m4 to be fully locale-aware, such a behavior change belongs in a major version release such as 1.6, and not a minor release. ** Fix regression introduced in 1.4.11 where the experimental `changeword' builtin could cause a crash if given a regex that does not match all one-byte prefixes of valid longer matches. As a reminder, `changeword' is not recommended for production use, and will likely not be present in the next major version release. ** On non-Unix platforms where binary files differ from text, loading a frozen file (which should be cross-platform compatible) now correctly uses binary mode. ** Several documentation improvements to the manual. ** Update to comply with newer C standards, and inherit portability improvements from gnulib.

tools: m4: set -std=gnu17

2025-04-16T11:52:33Z

Fedora 42 updated to GCC15 which now defaults to GNU23 as the default instead of GNU17[1], and this breaks m4 compilation. Its been reported upstream [2], so until its fixed lets simply set C language version back to GNU17.

tools: prefer gz or bz2 tarballs

2024-04-06T09:24:18Z

In the light of recent XZ events, and fundamental XZ issues lets work on moving away from using XZ. So, use gz compressed tarballs as sources whenever possible. dwarves only offers bz2 compressed tarballs, so use those as size difference is minor compared to XZ. Signed-off-by: Robert Marko dwarves
