1) Fix mkdir -p to exit with the proper exit status and issue an error
message if it was unable to create all of the specified directories
and they did not previously exist. POSIX says:
The mkdir utility shall exit with one of the following values:
0 All the specified directories were created successfully or the
-p option was specified and all the specified directories now
exist.
E.g.
% mkdir -p /var/mkdir
mkdir: /var/mkdir: Permission denied
% touch /tmp/file
% mkdir -p /tmp/file/dir
mkdir: /tmp/file: Not a directory
Previously the above examples would exit with a zero exit status
and no error message. Something like the following run as a
normal user will still not produce an error:
% id
uid=629(mpp) gid=629(mpp)....
% mkdir -p /usr/local/etc
% ls -ld /usr/local/etc
drwxr-xr-x 4 bin bin 512 Dec 26 14:55 /usr/local/etc/
2) Cleaned up the mode handling to be more efficient when multiple
directories are being created.
3) Fixed a problem where directories could be created with the wrong mode
if the the -p option was specified and the build() routine returned
and error. It would leave the umask set incorrectly at this point.
4) Removed an unused variable.
Closes PR# 2304.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

POSIX.2 looks pretty unequivocal to me, and it agrees with you.
Under the explanation of the "-p" option, it says, "Each dir operand that
names an existing directory shall be ignored without error." Under the
explanation of exit status zero, it says, "All the specified directories were
created successfully, or the-p option was specified and all the specified
directories now exist."
Seems to me POSIX requires exactly the behavior you want.
[ And I've made the change, which is also now compatible with 1.x - jkh ]
