-Bison requires GNU m4 1.4 or later.  Vanilla GNU m4 1.4 has some
-serious bugs, so we recommend using m4 1.4 as patched by the standard
-GNU/Linux distributions.  If you're building GNU m4 1.4 from scratch
-we suggest using this version:
+Bison requires GNU m4 1.4.3 or later.  See:
 
-ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.2.tar.gz

-Older versions of Sun Forte Developer 6 update 2 have a compiler bug
-that cause "make check" to fail with a "Encounter BINCL entry"
-diagnostic.  To fix the bug, update to the latest set of Solaris and
-Forte patches recommended by Sun.
+Bison can work with pre-1.4.3 distributions of GNU m4 if they are
+sufficiently patched, but if you encounter a bug with an older
+distribution and report a bug we will probably suggest that you
+upgrade to 1.4.3 as the first step in trying to fix it.
 
-VMS and MS-DOS builds are probably broken right now.  If you are able
-to build Bison on either platform and you need to make changes to do
-so, please submit those changes as a bug report.  On VMS, you will
-probably have to create Makefile from Makefile.in by hand.  Remember
-to do `SET COMMAND BISON' to install the data in `BISON.CLD'.
+Please send bug reports to <bug-bison@gnu.org>.  Please include the
+version number from `bison --version', and a complete, self-contained
+test case in each bug report.
