Do not trigger automake in brial

[sagetrac-gouezel]

Since #20381, brial compilation requires automake in some settings. This is cured by touching suitable files in spkg-install.

I haven't tested it directly, but LGTM in principle. Maybe should be a comment there explaining why the touch is needed.

sage-7.2 hasn't been released already has it? If so this should go in there, otherwise sage 7.2 can't be built without automake.

Sage 7.2 has been released.

But this problem does not trigger always, otherwise we would have seen many more reports. I for one cannot reproduce it. It might be filesystem or OS-dependent.

I encountered this issue building Sage 7.2 from source on SciLinux 6.7 (an RHEL 6 derivative). Sebastien's patch fixed the problem for me!
