Yy, pandoc should be optional, it builds without it in GHA.

Unfortunately there is little additional noise in generated-configure concerning `--runstatedir` option, even though, I have used same version of autofonf, as was used before (2.69). It boils down to whether autoconf is ran on distro which has [specific backport](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1831941#c6). (Not present on rhel-8 I used) But I don't think this affects OpenJDK in any way.
