I don't understand this. There's a problem when the library is being installed. This either means that the directory has not been added in Makefile.inc1 or that the mtree files need to be updated. In both cases, creating the directory obfuscates a bug. The proper fix would be to add the directory to wherever it had to be created in the first place.
