those configure files have been generated with some modified version of autoconf: --runstatedir isn't present in vanilla autoconf 2.69, but only in git autoconf. Since there are no uses of it I could find, please do regenerate with autoconf 2.69 (preferably self-built since distros tend to include random patches which only confuse future developers).
