There's no need. mkdir works fine as an external program.

It's in the GNU file utilities collection. v2gnu/fil40b.zip at your
favourite DJGPP download site.

You need a DJGPP-compiled version of a Unix-type shell, and tell
'make' to use it. I.e. there should be a line like

	SHELL=/bin/sh

in your makefile, and you should have DJGPP's port of GNU Bash, 
v2gnu/bsh204b.zip, installed.
