I am experiencing a similar bug, only for me automake doesn't crash on
every invocation. However, it crashes reliably when called from
`autoreconf` via a `bootstrap` script (using `autoreconf` directly also
doesn't cause the crash).
Inserting some debug statements in the main `automake` script show that
the process intends to exit fine with status code 0, but `autoreconf`
receives an error code showing that `automake` segfaulted, suggesting
that the segfault occurs in the shutdown code.

The problem does not appear to be in Perl 5.38.2 per se, since replacing
`/usr/bin/perl` with the identical version from Homebrew fixes the bug.
So there appears to be something wrong with the Debian/Ubuntu build of
Perl, either in the patches or in the compiler toolchain.
