mkdir takes two arguments on UNIX.  That's how it works.  I'm not sure
what is happening in joe but, usually, something like a mkdir() function
is only compiled in when there is no corresponding function in the C
library, although, I don't know how there could possibly be a workaround
for a missing mkdir.

You need to examine the source more thoroughly and figure out what is
going on.  This would be a problem on nearly any UNIX system that it was
compiled on, too.
