The issue there is that the test is needless in the Makefile. -z was passed a quoted non-zero argument, it'll never return false. Previously, however, xkeyboard-config installed a broken symlink to a non-existent directory which is why the command failed. If the symlink were correct, or if the directory existed previously, mkdir -p would have returned 0.
