There are some candidates for this fix (contains some false positives):

find . -type f -name "*.c" -exec grep -l mkdir {} \;
./general/manage/lib/do_copy.c
./raster/r.li/r.li.daemon/daemon.c
./raster/r.le/r.le.setup/main.c
./raster/r.le/r.le.patch/main.c
./raster/r.le/r.le.pixel/main.c
./lib/init/mke_mapset.c
./lib/init/mke_loc.c
./lib/db/dbmi_driver/d_mkdir.c
./lib/gis/make_mapset.c
./lib/gis/make_loc.c
./lib/gis/mapset_msc.c
./lib/gis/win32_pipes.c
./lib/gis/unix_socks.c
./lib/gis/paths.c
./lib/gis/user_config.c
./lib/raster/io_fifo.c
./lib/g3d/g3dwindowio.c
./gem/reg_entries.c
./gem/actions.c
lib/gis/paths.c

Probably a search/replace of ' mkdir' would do, using G_mkdir() from
./lib/gis/paths.c
? Or we need to modify G_mkdir() to accepts two parameters.
