[RH#128226] mkdir .libs -> directory already exists. when using make -j (fwd)

[Daniel Reed]

[From https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=128226]

Description of problem:
Builds (of graphviz, but presumably of other packages too) with "make -j"
produce many "directory already exists" warnings.
The warnings come from libtool generated "mkdir .libs" statements.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libtool-1.5.6-4

How reproducible:
100% on dual processor machine

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ./configure; make -j



The original reporter worked around the issue with the following patch:

I can reproduce by grabbing graphviz-1.13.20040803.0430.tar.gz (which uses a 
patched 1.5.6) from www.graphviz.org, reversing his patch (change 
config/ltmain.sh's reference to "mkdir -p" to just "mkdir"), and running 
./configure; make -j on a 4-processor machine.
