+Subject: [PATCH] automake: port to Perl 5.22 and later
+
+Without this change, Perl 5.22 complains "Unescaped left brace in
+regex is deprecated" and this is planned to become a hard error in
+Perl 5.26.  See:
+http://search.cpan.org/dist/perl-5.22.0/pod/perldelta.pod#A_literal_%22{%22_should_now_be_escaped_in_a_pattern
+* bin/automake.in (substitute_ac_subst_variables): Escape left brace.
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport [13f00eb4493c217269b76614759e452d8302955e]
