It's likely caused by
/doc/manual/Makefile: @$(MKINSTALLDIRS) -p $(infodir)
in which I suspect that one can safely lose the "-p" since
mkinstalldirs obviously doesn't know what to do with it...
BTW we seem to be alternately using $(MKINSTALLDIRS) and
$(top_srcdir)/tools/mkinstalldirs for this purpose. Anyone have a clue
on whether this ought to be standardized?
