Subject: Guarrantee that ${ARCH_DISTDIR} exists before writing to it.

Platform: other
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: 6.0.2

Under some conditions when building from source the directory ${ARCH_DISTDIR} may not exist.  If this occurs, the make target 'builddemolocation' will fail.  The following patch will guarrantee that the appropriate directory exists; if it already exists, the effect is unchanged from the current behavior.
