Recent GDAL versions (2.1 or later) should be able to dea with 
Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere.
So virtual planet builder is likely using an older version.

You could try to do "ogr2ogr -a_srs EPSG:3857 out.shp in.shp" with a GDAL 
version < 2.1, but 
I'm not completely sure it would be correctly detected as Web Mercator.

Or if virtual planet builder doesn't require EPSG:3857, you could also project 
to EPSG:4326 
for example : "ogr2ogr -s_srs EPSG:3857 -t_srs EPSG:4326 out.shhp in.shp"
