The likelihood of this being a sh(1) bug is pretty much nil. The
ports cluster builds the entire ports collection about once a week.
There are currently 11,901 ports with a GNU configure script, so the
ports team should have encountered this by now.

Judging from the error messages you quote, it's more likely that there
is something wrong with your installed version of m4, or that you have
installed a package with a buggy aclocal script which confuses m4.

DES

A related possibility is that you need to amend the include path for aclocal correctly/differently. On 6.0R I get a sensible result out of autogen.sh if I change the aclocal command to:

run_or_die $ACLOCAL -I m4 -I /usr/local/share/aclocal

cheers
