Well, not if you build from a tarball. Unfortunately we have no tarballs
available yet.

Also, we don't try to mount the dirs if you have an uid != 0. You should
not build systemd as root anyway. 

(We mount those filesystems because there's a little bit of a
chicken-and-egg problem otherwise when we need to figure out the mode we
are being run in).

Uh, they are actually pretty straight-forward automake.
