Should the patch be based on main or on the previous patch that was
merged to next?

After having this much discussion, it is preferrable to have a patch
relative to what you have in 'next' (2910bf5) as a fix-up, explaining "The
initial version does not cover these cases / has these problems" to
summarize the discussion so far, followed by explanation of the
incremental change "Fix this and that by doing ...".

We could revert what is in 'next' and start from scratch, but then it is
likely that the thought process will be lost when you write the log
message.

I'd implement it like this, discarding Kacper's patch, but I'm not sure
whether the commit message summarizes the discussion sufficiently. Let me
know whether you want a version based on top of Kacper's patch, or how
else to proceed.

Of your two patches regarding configure --sysconfdir, only the second
(e8de44bc05) is needed on top of this patch.

I'm afraid e8de44bc05 was lost somewhere, as 1.7.5.3 does not contain
it.
