Comment (by Bas Couwenberg):

 The single blockquotes are stripped by `m4(1)`, hence the need for
 additional quotes.

 You're probably on Windows where the GNU tools are not as modern.

 Instead of matching the pre-release suffix, it may be more portable to
 match the version string and replace the entire string with only the
 matched numeric version.

 Does the following in `configure.ac` work on your system?
 {{{
 VERSION_RELEASE=`echo "$VERSION" | sed -E
 's/^([[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+]).*?$/\1/'`
 }}}
