Ah, I see what do you mean.
We do not alter $localstatedir in the configure script at all. This is is
probably the problem you see. For the other directories we default to /bin,
/lib, ... when the default prefix (NONE or /usr) detected.
It seems $localstatedir and $sysconfdir need our care too.
I have committed:

Please, try it. The final summary from ./configure should be also
more verbose about the paths now.
