commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=22dbe0035f309c2ea141344ed6a4e0e79881a1fa
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Automake currently has a unescaped left brace in it's automake.in folder
that generates the warning:
"Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex;"
This patch, which is backported from upstream fixes this warning.

+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.
