I believe your patch is correct.

The "install-exec-local" rule should also be changed to

install-exec-local:     regpar.tab regutil $(DESTDIR)$(ETC_DIR)
        $(PERL) $(srcdir)/installRegistry regpar.tab ./regutil \
            $(ETC_DIR)/ldmadmin-pl.conf $(DESTDIR)$(ETC_DIR)

These changes will be in the next release.
