Yes, until autoconf catches up, @MANDIR@ will default to ${prefix}/man.
You can work around this in the meantime by specifying ./configure
--prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man

A bigger problem is the Makefiles that use ${prefix}/man instead of
@MANDIR@.  Our RPM macros (%configure and %make-install) will pass
mandir correctly to ./configure and make, but there will undoubtedly
be a lot of patched makefiles before the move is complete.
