For 0.70.20130316, the "-p" seems to have gone lost, so one gets many mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/run/whatever': File exists No harm, when one knows they're innocuous... autoconf instantiates an MKDIR_P if portability is an issue. It may create a relative path to install-sh if -p is not supported.
