Looks like you're hitting the same issue as in the ChromeOS builds:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/libqmi/issues/22
That seems to be some issue with an old m4 in your system, could you
let us know which version of m4 are you using?

If you want to get rid of the issue and keep the build on, just remove
all the AX_ macros:
