Okay, good reason :)

I've been thinking about it... we would include that feature in the kernel
but issue a printf() when a call to mkdir is done with trailing slashes.
That way we would know which programs are failing and fix them if we can,
but we get them working in the meantime.

Another solution would be to add that hack to the compat_linux, so we get
linux apps working (as that is valid in linux).

Thanks.
