As I reported in a previous posting, the "mkdir" dependancy in the Makefile file
of the main directory of Emacs (18.59) distribution may fail to create
the directories if more than one element are missing in the path names.

So, I suggest to change the "mkdir" dependancy in the Makefile as follows (or
something similar):

mkdir: FRC
	for file in ${LIBDIR} ${BINDIR} ${MANDIR}
	do
	  dir=`echo $file | sed -e 's/^\([^/]*\)/.*$/\1/'`
	  for sub in `echo $file | tr '/' ' '`
	  do
	    dir=$dir/$sub
	    -mkdir $dir
	  done
	done

NOTE:
I'm not familiar with make rules to replace variable names. Please, check if
the "$file, $dir, etc..." variables will be replaced properly by the shell
instead of make itself.
