Hi,

because I had a similar problem (I tried to rebuild kdebase) as
described in the SL-Users mail list topic "Any hint on 'builtin
`mkstemp' requested by frozen file is not supported'?"

Is there a reason why m4-1.4.8-1 from SL is only in the SRPMS
repository, but not in the RPM repositories?
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/50/SRPMS/SL/m4-1.4.8-1.src.rpm
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/50/i386/SL/m4-1.4.5-3.el5.1.i386.rpm

I know RHEL5 has only m4-1.4.5-3.el5.1.
