Thanks.  The thread mentioned in that one seems to have a few
"right" solutions.  A compat/gitmkdirat.c likely is the best,
modelled after the gnulib one.  I'll look at it when I can in 
the next week or so, so you can ignore my patch.

eep.  ;)  I only have access to three major variations at the
moment (Linux, semi-old Solaris, recent AIX), so I'm not an
authority...  Solaris 8 is from before the general Linux/glibc 
compatability movement, so it's pretty useful for testing.
