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

as_mkdir_p tests 2>/dev/null;

was run then the mkdir: cannot make directory: tests: File exists would be
thrown away and the command would work.
