This is the one patch which does path AX_NORMALIZE_PATH that we're
still missing:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/d10b3a45b17403ce8a52680703b03888ebee0769

I resent Michael's original patch but including the import of the
latest ax_normalize_path.m4 from autoconf-archive.

I also tested it with a few combinations including --with-rootpath=/
and it worked fine.

I could create a PR in systemd-devs GitHub if you'd like, otherwise
feel free to just push it straight upstream if you prefer.

Cheers,
Filipe
