Those aren't errors, they are warnings.  They just mean that the m4
macros included with those packages (freetype2, libsmi, cppunit) are
possibly underquoted.  Ideally, those errors should be reported to the
upstream authors of those packages so that the quoting can be adjusted,
but realistically the warnings mean nothing and can be ignored. 
(Unless, of course, you actually are running into a problem caused by
insufficient quoting, but that would be a very different error message.)
