Yep, it's due to the use of the 'm4_esyscmd_s' macro.  I've seen a few
other projects achieve 2.63 compatibility just by detecting whether this
macro is available, and providing their own replacement if not.  I plan
to do something like this too, hopefully before next release, but
haven't yet looked into it deeply.  Would welcome a patch in the
meantime!
