I'm missing something or this doesn't work:

I experimentally added "#define mkdir fixed_mkdir" in config.h.
Then:
util.c: In function `makedirs':
util.c:885: too many arguments to function `fixed_mkdir'
make: *** [util.o] Error 1

If I change it to:
"#define mkdir(name, mode) ((fixed_mkdir) (name, mode))",
Then:
gcc -c  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Ded_PROGRAM=\"ed\" -I. -I. -g -O2 addext.c
In file included from C:/DEV/MSYS/1.0/mingw/include/unistd.h:9,
                 from addext.c:49:
C:/DEV/MSYS/1.0/mingw/include/io.h:145:39: macro "mkdir" requires 2 arguments, 
but only 1 given
make: *** [addext.o] Error 1

Same problem if I move it to common.h.
