Configuring and building GNU m4 does not require autoheader.  The following  
procedure should work correctly without having autoheader installed (assuming  
your machine's clock is not highly skewed):

Download: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.tar.gz

% tar xvfz m4-1.4.tar.gz
% cd m4-1.4
% ./configure
% make
% make install

If you find that autoheader is being invoked, then I would suggest checking  
your machine's clock, as it might be skewed.
