Perhaps another solution would be to make the default for localstatedir be

Ah, I see what do you mean.

We do not alter $localstatedir in the configure script at all. This is is
probably the problem you see. For the other directories we default to /bin,
/lib, ... when the default prefix (NONE or /usr) detected.

It seems $localstatedir and $sysconfdir need our care too.

I have committed:
https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/commit/3d2899651791bcb4ee8fe4e605acc83f3ae3471b

Please, try it. The final summary from ./configure should be also
more verbose about the paths now.

Thanks Karel.  Works for us.
