Hi Laurent,
I think this is related to 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-06/msg00034.html
octave uses gnulib::mkdir. There is also a gnulib::mkdir-p but as you 
see in the link above this made some problems compiling with MinGW.

You can do 'system("mkdir -p foo/bar/baz")' but this isn't platform 
independent.
