    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The generated makefiles end up with some variation of the following
definition:

mkdir_p = $(top_builddir)/./install-sh -c -d

The big problem with this is that top_builddir is defined after mkdir_p (the
variable definitions are apparently dumped in alphabetical order).  This
causes "make install" to fail.
