[Bug 1320611] [NEW] Sync m4 1.4.17-4 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

[Artur Rona]

Public bug reported:

Please sync m4 1.4.17-4 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - Fix detection of floating point endianness.

Debian has merged Ubuntu changes.

Changelog entries since current utopic version 1.4.17-3ubuntu1:

m4 (1.4.17-4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fixed lintian warning "description-synopsis-starts-with-article".
  * Fix detection of floating point endianness. Closes: #748361.
    This should make build tests to work again on ppc64el.
    Patch from Alan Modra taken from Ubuntu. Thanks a lot.
    Note: This is really a gnulib problem.
  * Updated config.guess and config.sub.
