Install texinfo.
Or try to touch doc/m4.info before running make, to get version without
documentation.

Perhaps you have built 1.4.1 which used to be on alpha.gnu.org.

I'd suggest you try a newer version, try

        http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/m4
or
        http://www.alltheweb.com/search?q=m4-1.4o.tar.gz&c=ftp
        http://www.alltheweb.com/search?q=m4-1.4p.tar.gz&c=ftp
