["Colin Patrick McCabe (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8080?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14324940#comment-14324940 ] 

Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-8080:
----------------------------------------------

This was fixed in Hadoop 2.x by the conversion to cmake.  cmake doesn't use the m4 macro processing language, unlike autotools.
