Subject: Use MKDIR_P instead of mkdir --parents in test/Makefile.in
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2016 11:55:54 -0500

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Some platforms don't support the long options for mkdir.  Seems there
is a variable, MKDIR_P, set by Autoconf that is used elsewhere in the
Emacs build system that could be used instead.  Patch is attached and
quoted below.

Thanks,
Aaron
