I have a question about the "Makefile" on the main directory of the 18.59
version of Emacs.

Why don't you use the "-p" option of mkdir in the "mkdir" dependancy?

mkdir: FRC
	-mkdir ${LIBDIR} ${BINDIR} ${MANDIR}

You asssume that only the last part of the path names does not exist. This is
probably the case with default values on most systems, but if we decide to
create, say, a test version, with directory names having more than one
component that don't exist, mkdir will not create the directory.

Thanks.
