Yes, you are right. Thanks for notifying us. Seems like releases 1.6.6
and 2.0.4 have configure scripts that were inadvertently generated with
older autoconf without 'runstatedir' option support.

Workaround is either to regenerate configure using 'autoreconf' from
proper autoconf tool, or just use older 'with-runtimedir' option.
