Looked at configure help, saw:
Optional packages:

to me, this means systemd is optional and may be
included using a 'with'.
Conversely, one could use:
  --without-systemd

Works for me,  but you also need to use --without-systemdsystemunitdir

   I see.
   That's a workaround to suppress the message.  Even without
the '--without-systemdsystemunitdir', systemd appears to be
disabled.  Under the summary of options, it had:

 Bash completions:  /usr/share/bash-completion
 Systemd support:   no
 Btrfs support:     yes
 Wide-char support: yes

   It seems like it is more confusing than
an actual problem.  Though, IMO, "--without-systemd"
should disable any processing for the systemd unit dir as well,
no?  And going with standard meanings, if the switch to toggle
default behavior is the one listed in "configure --help", wouldn't
the default have been --without-systemdsystemunitdir (boy that's
a mouthful of a switch name)?

   AFAIK, this issue is more along the lines of dotting an 'i'
or crossing a 't', but it's still a bit odd...
