regex bug on arch

[NightStrike]

With the latest automake on archi linux, I get this:

Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex;
marked by <-- HERE in m/\${ <-- HERE ([^ \t=:+{}]+)}/ at
/usr/bin/automake line 3936.

Which is ('automake --version' tells you)?

This has been fixed in git with commit

So either wait for the next release or apply the change to your
