Summary:
After execution of `scripts/ios-install-third-party.sh` a symlink is created :
`<YOUR-APP-PATH>/node_modules/react-native/third-party/glog-0.3.4/test-driver`
that is pointing to `test-driver -> /usr/share/automake-1.14/test-driver`
This can be executed indirectly by `react-native run-ios`.
This breaks the bundle process if the system don't contain a given file under the link and having this strict dependency on the system setup is not a good practice.
Once the `test-driver` symlink is created android app release is failing, for :
`./gradlew assembleRelease`
the `:app:bundleReleaseJsAndAssets` returns :
```
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Could not list contents of '<YOUR-APP-PATH>/node_modules/react-native/third-party/glog-0.3.4/test-driver'. Couldn't follow symbolic link.
```

1. Create new project with `react-native init <YOUR-APP>`
2. cd `<YOUR-APP>/`
3. Run app on iOS `react-native run-ios` so `scripts/ios-install-third-party.sh` is executed.
4. cd `android/`
5. Run android app release `./gradlew assembleRelease` (it will work properly after this fix and fail if the `test-driver` symlink exists)
IMHO we should resolve the issue with this quick fix and apply the proper fix later after the new version of `google/glog` will be released.
The proper cleanup of files generated by autotools was already applied : https://github.com/google/glog/pull/188
