I noticed this while building from libvirt.git on RHEL 5.6:
Generating internals/command.html.tmp mkdir: cannot create directory `/internals': Permission denied
If I had been building as root instead, this pollutes /.
Older autoconf lacks $(builddir), but it is rigorously equal to '.' in newer autoconf, so we could use '$(MKDIR_P) internals' instead.
However, since internals/command.html is part of the tarball, we _already_ build it in $(srcdir), not $(builddir) during VPATH builds, so the mkdir is wasted effort!
