Trying to build an application downloaded from the web, the make fails
using 'mkdirhier'. I have reproduced this with the following example:

As Administrator:
-------------------------------------
$ cd
$ mkdirhier /home/Administrator/foo1/foo2/lib
mkdir: cannot create directory `//home': No such host or network path
mkdir: cannot create directory `//home/Administrator': Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory `//home/Administrator/foo1': Permission
denied
mkdir: cannot create directory
`//home/Administrator/foo1/foo2': Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory
`//home/Administrator/foo1/foo2/lib': Permission denied

-------------------------------------

The system is W2K SP4 with ALL CYGWIN installed.

I am using the snapshot : 1.5.20s(0.155/4/2) 20060614 16:21:31

In cygwin am using the following test packages:


   coreutils-5.96-1
   emacs-21.3.50-2.*
   findutils-4.3.0-1
   lesstiff-0.94.4-1
   tar-1.15.90-1
   xorg-6.8.99.901-1.*


Cheers,

    Angelo.
