Björn, 

You might have triggered a bug in the configure script; not many people
override sysconfdir.  

1. Do things get better if you add a trailing slash: "--sysconfdir=/etc/"
?
2. If not, could you set TDSDUMPCONFIG and post its log here? 

I think from the log file we'll be able to tell what's wrong.  

Thanks,
