   We recently installed S on our Pyramid 90x system and had to install
the special version of m4 that comes with the S source. My notes on that
say:

   src/m4/makefile changed to install m4 in src/m4 directory;
   adm/cmd/MAKEm4 changed to reference m4 from /u1/s/src/m4/m4
   cmd/makehead M4 symbol set to /u1/s/src/m4/m4

where /u1/s is the S home directory here... you need to do 'make'
in the ~s/src/m4 directory after performing these changes.
