Description:
MySQL uses pkglib_DATA which is not valid since automake 1.11.2

This results in the following problem:
configure.in:374: the top level
generated/Makefile.am:34: `%'-style pattern rules are a GNU make extension
generated/Makefile.am:37: `%'-style pattern rules are a GNU make extension
library/forms/swig/Makefile.am:5: `pkglibdir' is not a legitimate directory for `DATA'
modules/wb.utils/Makefile.am:4: `pkglibdir' is not a legitimate directory for `DATA'
plugins/wb.admin/frontend/Makefile.am:4: `pkglibdir' is not a legitimate directory for `DATA'
plugins/wb.doclib/Makefile.am:4: `pkglibdir' is not a legitimate directory for `DATA'
make: *** [Makefile.in] Errore 1

How to repeat:
with automake 1.11.2 or greater

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --with-bundled-ctemplate --disable-debug --disable-static

Suggested fix:
Someone else suggested fixing this with the following command:

fgrep -rlZ pkglib_DATA --include Makefile.am . | xargs -0 sed -i 's/pkglib_DATA/pkgdata_DATA/g'

I confirm that the proposed solution fixes the build with automake 1.11.3 (and doesn't seems to break the build with previous version)

Fixed as of Workbench 5.2.41, and here's the changelog entry:

MySQL Workbench would fail to compile with automake 1.11.2 or
greater, due to the pkglib_DATA reference.
