Thank you for your hard work on coreutils, Pádraig!

I opened a PR for OpenWRT here:
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/12233

I remember you made changes to gnulib and m4, but I do not see a new release 
tag for m4, and I see that OpenWRT builds tools/m4 as a prerequisite for 
tools/coreutils. The version of m4 currently in use seems outdated. It is 
downloaded from
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.19.tar.xz
or one of the many @GNU mirrors. The latest version is from 2021-05-28 17:55. 
What is the current status for m4? I suppose we should instead clone and build 
gnulib? Is there a source download link or should be clone from the Savanna git 
repo? Is there a specific release of gnulib or should we checkout the commit 
selected by coreutils? Or perhaps we should automate the build using:
./bootstrap && ./configure && make

coreutils-9.2 test results on macOS 12.6.3:

Cheers, mate!
