I don't think we're going to worry too much about making plpgsql cope
with an m4 that's too old to support autoconf, which I gather is the
case from the bison bug report thread I mentioned before.  If you're
going to be changing the source code or working from a git pull, you
need to have reasonably non-broken tools.  We do provide pre-made bison
output in release tarballs, if you don't want to take the responsibility
of having a non-buggy bison available.
