I did

$ git checkout v2.6.33-rc3
$ mkdir /bld/2.6.33-rc3
$ zcat /proc/config.gz >/bld/2.6.33-rc3/.config
$ make O=/bld/2.6.33-rc3/ oldconfig
...
hit Enter several times
...
$ ls -ld include/config /bld/2.6.33-rc3/include/config/

The mkdir command has been in the Makefile since 2006 (c955cca), so I
think that your problem is caused by something else. Try a make V=1
build with a read-only source tree to see which mkdir command fails.
