for me it's actually breaking the build:
configure: error: unrecognized option: `--runstatedir=/var/run'
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/359619234/buildlog_ubuntu-artful-amd64.r
uby2.5_2.5.0-4bbox5~artful1_BUILDING.txt.gz
I've removed it to get things building for me. Unsure how (or if?) it's
working for Debian, but my build environment is a bit different.
