This would help pkgsrc on Unixware as well. mkdir(1) on this OS is
(IMHO) braindead as 'mkdir -p a/b/c/d' works every time but returns an
exit code of 2 if either a, b, c or d did exist beforehand. In the case
of bootstrap I provide a shell script bootstrap/files/mkdir-sh to work
around this.

I don't know whether the behaviour of mkdir(1) has been fixed in
versions later than Unixware 7.1.1.
