With a minimal reproducer:
```bash
d=$(mktemp -d); :>$d/s; for i in $(seq 10); do for k in $(seq 32); do install
-D $d/s $d/o$i/q/f$k & done; done; wait
```
we see eg "install: cannot create directory '/tmp/tmp.CB8euXaXaR/o10/q'". With
GNU coreutils, EEXIST is ignored by design, thus this race does not occur.
Thanks,
Daniel
