Bug#973601: sympow: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] I noticed that
sympow could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the .txt files under datafiles/ insert lines that
include the absolute build path. Upstream's Configure script strips
some of these away (particularly, the ones that use "logfile =", but
there are some (new?) ones that use "logfile is".

A patch is attached that also strips these out.
