You truncated the log, not showing the actual failure at the time test
198 was run. However, I suspect that you have hit this known issue:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-m4/2021-06/msg00009.html

and that your just-built m4 is working just fine.  I still need to
make time to release m4 1.4.20 that fixes that and also the reported
issue about unintended locale sensitivity in the format macro.
