I retract my proposed patch.

I agree this mess should be delt with differently.
move INSTALL?=
to toplevel makefile
MKDIR_P ?= $(INSTALL) -d
there.
remove approximately all manual invocations of "mkdir -p".
Finally remember that, for each targets some stamps
need one (or some) dir as prereq, so spell them out in
one two-liner rule once and for all.

There will be only a handful of "manual" MKDIR_P occurances left
for the few packages that are exceptions.
