Sorry, but i think you are mistaken: if you have installed GNU M4 it should reside somewhere in /usr/local/bin and definitely not in /usr/bin. In /usr/bin reside the original OS binaries and nothing else. By letting the M4 variable point to /usr/bin/m4 you probably overrode any possiblity left that the make-utility might find it.
1) check your path: perhaps your PATH variable looks like "/usr/bin:.....:/usr/local/bin:.....", which means that - first come first serve - if a command resides in /usr/bin AND in /usr/local/bin the one in /usr/bin (the original OS binaries) will be taken until explicitly stated otherwise. To use the one in /usr/local/bin either change your path (not advisable) or specify /usr/local/bin/command explicitly.
2) set your M4 variable to where the GNU M4 resides, not where ANY M4 is.
I hope this helps.

GZEXE(1) General Commands Manual GZEXE(1)
NAME
gzexe - compress executable files in place
SYNOPSIS
gzexe name ...
DESCRIPTION
The gzexe utility allows you to compress executables in place and have them automatically uncompress and execute when you run them (at a
penalty in performance). For example if you execute ``gzexe /usr/bin/gdb'' it will create the following two files:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1026675 Jun 7 13:53 /usr/bin/gdb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2304524 May 30 13:02 /usr/bin/gdb~
/usr/bin/gdb~ is the original file and /usr/bin/gdb is the self-uncompressing executable file. You can remove /usr/bin/gdb~ once you are
sure that /usr/bin/gdb works properly.
This utility is most useful on systems with very small disks.
OPTIONS
-d Decompress the given executables instead of compressing them.
SEE ALSO
gzip(1), znew(1), zmore(1), zcmp(1), zforce(1)
CAVEATS
The compressed executable is a shell script. This may create some security holes. In particular, the compressed executable relies on the
PATH environment variable to find gzip and some standard utilities (basename, chmod, ln, mkdir, mktemp, rm, sleep, and tail).
BUGS
gzexe attempts to retain the original file attributes on the compressed executable, but you may have to fix them manually in some cases,
using chmod or chown.
