And GNU m4 now does that so the bug has already been fixed.

It sounds like there's some confusion here. What do you want the Bison developers to do, exactly? Bison 'configure' can't fix an m4 with a buggy strstr, as that's baked into m4. All Bison's 'configure' can do is tell you that your m4 is buggy, which is what it's doing.
