Sorry for the confusion last time. The output I sent was from another
system (Windows 7). The problem I discribed occured on a Win XP
installation. I upgraded from pre-1.7 to cygwin 1.7.x.
I verfied the proper installation of libcygseg

There's no such thing as libcygseg. There's libsigsegv (which has an included cygsigsegv-2.dll).

- and it is in fact
installed. Nevertheless, m4 does not produce any output when I run
m4.exe --version:

me@host ~
$ /usr/bin/m4.exe --version

What's the exit status here? I still think you might be suffering from a missing dependency dll. Does running m4.exe under a cmd window give you a popup box about a missing entry point?

Launching m4.exe in a Windows (XP) CMD gives the following error:

RedBox: The procedure entry point __locale_mb_cur_max could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll.

Nevertheless, m4.exe works well on my home installation (Win7) but this is apparently the same cygwin version (1.7).
