STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@gmail.com> added the comment:

"Different people generate ./configure different ways.  Some insert runstatedir 
in configure, others don't.  E.g. on 14 April 2017 runstatedir was added to 
configure, on 9 June it was removed from configure, on 29 June it was added to 
configure.  It needs to be clarified once forever, whether runstatedir belongs 
to configure or not and then everybody has to stick to this, in order to avoid 
useless changes in the version control."

For practical reasons, we decided to include the generated file configure in 
Git. You are right that not all developers use the same autoconf version, and 
so that the generated file includes or not the runstatedir change. I don't know 
how to fix this issue. If you consider that it's a bug and should be fixed, 
please open a new dedicated issue, since it's unrelated to your fchdir + 
-Werror bug.
