6Bison requires GNU m4 1.4.3 or later.  See:

8ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.3.tar.gz
9
10Bison can work with pre-1.4.3 distributions of GNU m4 if they are
11sufficiently patched, but if you encounter a bug with an older
12distribution and report a bug we will probably suggest that you
13upgrade to 1.4.3 as the first step in trying to fix it.
14
15Please send bug reports to <bug-bison@gnu.org>.  Please include the
16version number from `bison --version', and a complete, self-contained
17test case in each bug report.

19If you have questions about using Bison and the documentation does
20not answer them, please send mail to <help-bison@gnu.org>.
