People who want reproducible builds can run
LC_ALL make && LC_ALL make check

This still would prevent the GNU m4 test suite from producing a test failure
for the aforementioned m4-1.4.19 regression (because the English locale
has less variation regarding the decimal separator than the whole set
of possible locales).
