There are at least two reasons why we must not # use `-m 0755': # - it causes special bits like SGID to be ignored, # - it may be too restrictive (some setups expect 775 directories). # # Do not use -m 0755 and let people choose whatever they expect by # setting umask. # # We cannot accept any implementation of `mkdir' that recognizes `-p'. # Some implementations (such as Solaris 8's) are not thread-safe: if a # parallel make tries to run `mkdir -p a/b' and `mkdir -p a/c' # concurrently, both version can detect that a/ is missing, but only # one can create it and the other will error out. Consequently we # restrict ourselves to GNU make (using the --version option ensures # this.)
