PERL v5.26.0 Ubuntu (17/18) issue with automake 1.15

When I compile with compile.sh, It always stops with Error:

help2man: can't get --help' info from automake-1.15 Try --no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr Makefile:3707: recipe for target 'doc/automake-1.15' failed make[1]: *** [doc/automake-1.15] Error 255 make[1]: Leaving directory '/media/osboxes/shared_vdi/vlc-android/vlc/extras/tools/automake' tools.mak:158: recipe for target '.automake' failed make: *** [.automake] Error 2

After some search I found that automake version 1.15.1 is mandatory on boxes with PERL 5.26

I think correcting for this issue is quite important as default Ubuntu 17/18 comes with PERL 5.26

Workaround: updated vlc-android/vlc/extras/tools/packages.mak with check for perl version , set AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.15.1 for perl 5.26 , and added automake-1.15.1.tar.gz sha key in SHA512SUMS
