bug#29638: Same five tests fail with 1.15 on RHEL 7.4

[Dennis Clarke]

The same five tests fail for automake 1.15 and 1.15.1 on RHEL 7.4. Also
the testsuite itself reports mysterious "Error 1" and "Error 2" upon
termination and that looks questionable :

The five failed tests are :

FAIL: t/aclocal.sh
FAIL: t/automake-cmdline.tap 4 - list of options terminated by '--' (stderr)
FAIL: t/automake-cmdline.tap 17 - unambiguous incomplete long option
FAIL: t/maken3.sh
