Based on build failure in Fedora 23 [1], automake has some testsuite failures against newer perl (currently Perl v5.22). Its because of new Perl warning: $ automake Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\${ <-- HERE ([^ \t=:+{}]+)}/ at /usr/bin/automake line 3936. Please consider the attached patch. [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1046458 Pavel
