Judging from the error message in your original post:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `<path>`, needed by `<rule>`. Stop.
it doesn't sound like 'mkdir' is failing--rather, it sounds like 'make'
can't figure out what command is needed to create 'path'. Can you post
the rule that's intended to do that?
