bug#33819: automake-1.16.1 test failures on NetBSD

[Thomas Klausner]

Hi Mike!

Thanks for looking at this.

I've re-run the tests for 1.16.5 on NetBSD 9.99.93/amd64 with perl 5.34.0 and 
now get

============================================================================
Testsuite summary for GNU Automake 1.16.5
============================================================================
# TOTAL: 2980
# PASS:  2815
# SKIP:  103
# XFAIL: 39
# FAIL:  23
# XPASS: 0
# ERROR: 0

with a quite different set of errors.
I'll attach it.
 Thomas
