Up to version 0.12, libdaemon used hardcoded /var/run path. But as of 0.13, it uses LOCALSTATEDIR/run instead. As Gentoo passes /var/lib as localstatedir, libdaemon tries to create pidfiles in incorrect /var/lib/run directory and daemons using it fail to start.

The solution is to provide econf with '--localstatedir=/var'. As the LOCALSTATEDIR isn't used anywhere else in the project, it shouldn't cause any problems.

app-cdr/cdemud can be used as a testcase.
