| In configure this test is run...

| if mkdir -p . 2>/dev/null; then
| as_mkdir_p=:
| else
| as_mkdir_p=false
| fi
|
| Notice the 2>/dev/null above. This throws away the error message. If the

Because that's not the problem. The problem is that config.status
uses as_mkdir_p, although it does not define it. And therefore, it
uses mkdir -p on your machine, which dies.
