I believe this will only do anything if runstatedir is empty

I think we want something like

AS_IF([test x"${sbd_runstatedir}" != x""],
           [
               AS_IF([test x"${runstatedir}" != x""], [echo "...taking precedence..."])
               runstatedir="${sbd_runstatedir}"
           ])

Well it did work in my tests.
According to documentation AS_IF is more like if ... then ... else if ... then ... else ...

Oh right, I misread the third block as else rather than else if

looks good to me

expand_path_option runstatedir "${localstatedir}/run"
AC_SUBST(runstatedir)
