You don't need the parens.

   ]b4_yyn[ = yypact]b4_yystate[;

The scanner provides some "bigraphs": you can use @{ and @} to stand
for [ and ] whatever is the current quotation level.  They are
converted last, m4 never sees them as [ and ].

address@hidden@}

you might also want to 

m4_define([b4_yypack],
address@hidden@}])

and

b4_yypack([b4_yystate])
