[PATCH v2 1/2] libcheck: Fix do_install error with automake 1.18

[liezhi.yang]

From: Robert Yang <liezhi.yang@windriver.com>

Fixed do_install error with automake 1.18
$ makeinfo -I ../../check-0.15.2/doc -o ../../check-0.15.2/doc/check.info \
    ../../check-0.15.2/doc/check.texi
[snip]
check.texi:2329: no matching `@end verbatim'
[snip]

The automake before 1.17's mdate-sh couldn't update libcheck's
doc/version.texi, so the doc/check.info wasn't re-generated, then we couldn't
see the build error.

I still request holding off this until the rebuild problem that I’ve seen has been investigated properly.

I've replied in V1, did that address your problem? Or how can I reproduce the 
problem, please?

The automake before 1.17's mdate-sh couldn't update libcheck's
doc/version.texi, so the doc/check.info wasn't re-generated, then we couldn't
see the build error before.

I think this can also address Ross' question about rebuild libcheck failed
with automake 1.18, it is because doc/check.info wasn't re-generated
with automake 1.17, then we couldn't see the error.

And for other recipes' rebuild, I've done the testing with:
$ bitbake world
Edit autotools.bbclass to triger rebuild
$ bitbake world

All of them worked well.

// Robert
