OK, that one I can reproduce. So the fix only really fixes a problem
with linux26, as uclibc has mkdir -p $(TOOLCHAIN_DIR) in it's .unpacked
rule and busybox depends on BUILD_DIR.

It your commit message would explain the problem, yes ;)

toplevel parallel builds is a lot bigger cake than I care to eat right
now, but I don't have a problem with adding dirs (and removing the mkdir
-p) as a prerequisite to uclibc/busybox/linux26-menuconfig as a cleanup.

Thanks for your presistence.
