This looks like an error inside the 'install-data-local' rule of
gettext-tools/examples/Makefile.

In order to reproduce it, I would need to know which system (OS)
this is, and with which command line you configured gettext.

Otherwise, if you want to debug this: three things to check are
- whether ../../build-aux/install-sh exists and is executable,
- to what the $(mkdir_p) in the same rule expands and whether it is
  executable,
- whether trimming down the EXAMPLESFILES variable in the Makefile
  helps. (It's a variable containing several hundred of file names.)
