There isn't.  It is variable to set in configure.host like HAVE_RENAME 
and HAVE_FCNTL.

A previous note in the discussion about this problem noted that Cygwin 
was overriding the function that exercised the _mkdir_r call which is 
why Cygwin wasn't getting a link exception since _mkdir_r wasn't wrapped 
yet.  The same would be true for any other platform using the function 
previously as there was no _mkdir_r.  If Cygwin is not overriding and is 
supplying a _mkdir syscall, then Cygwin should set HAVE_MKDIR in 
configure.host.  If it doesn't have a mkdir syscall, then the current 
output is correct.

Feel free to check that in if you add HAVE_MKDIR to configure.host or 
I'll do it if it turns out there isn't an issue.
