+Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: fix install failure if path contains "m4/" string
+
+Actually Makefile install recipe substitutes every occurence of "m4/" in
+file name of the target of the rule($@), in an absolute path there could
+more than one "m4/" occurence, so install will fail. Let's change
+$(subst ...) with $(patsubst ...) substituting only last occurence of
+"m4/" pattern.
