Yes; the header is <unistd.h>, which apparently includes <io.h>.

Perhaps we can work around the problem on mingw by defining our own
unistd.h, which looks like this:

#include "/path/to/mingw's/unistd.h"
#define mkdir(d, m) ((mkdir) (d))

That way, we wouldn't have to modify the existing source code or .m4
files at all.
