Bug#524723: xutils-dev: Debian mkdirhier bug

[Martin Koeppe <mkoeppe@gmx.de>]

Package: xutils-dev
Version: 1:7.4+4
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm porting Debian to Interix. See http://www.debian-interix.net
for details.

While porting xutils-dev I overlooked to
#define MkdirHierCmd  mkdir -p
so the default Debian version of  mkdirhier.sh  was used. With 
mkdirhier.sh  it is not possible to build

- xcalendar-i18n
- xcb
- xpat2
- xsok
- xxkb

because mkdirhier fails on pathes ending in /. as in
mkdirhier /build/interix601+Administrator/xsok-1.02/debian/xsok/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/.

or shorter (and also on Linux):

mkdirhier /tmp/mkdir1/mkdir2/.
mkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp/mkdir1/mkdir2/.': File exists
mkdirhier: could not create directory "/tmp/mkdir1/mkdir2/."

With mkdir -p this works.
