When backporting the given commit to version 2.69:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/commit/?id=a197431414088a417b407b9b20583b2e8f7363bd
we are experiencing problems with behaviour in Fedora.
In the documentation there is: By default runstatedir is a
subdirectory of ${localstatedir},
but it doesn't behave in such a way. The expectation was that after setting
--localstatedir=/dirA
will it change also @runstatedir@ to /dirA/run. But @runstatedir@
changes always to /run.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run autoreconf --verbose --install --force
2. mkdir /tmp/run/
3. touch /tmp/run/file1
4. ./configure --localstatedir=/tmp
5. ./test.sh
Actual results:
list /run
Expected results:
list /tmp/run
test.sh.in:
*#/bin/bashls @runstatedir@*
configure.ac:

Is there anything missing in the applied patch adding runstatedir option ?
Thanks for cooperation.
