This change:
- Makefiles will prefer `mkdir -p' over mkinstalldirs if it is
available. This selection is achieved through the Makefile
variable $(mkdir_p) that is set by AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE to either
`mkdir -m 0755 -p --', `$(mkinstalldirs) -m 0755', or
`$(install_sh) -m 0755 -d'.
sucks flaming red bugs.
How can one change the '-m 0755'? I haven't found anything about this in
the docs.
I have a case where we want SGID and group-write. In the "old days" this
was easy - the previous case simply did whatever it did and we got SGID by
default (because the parent directory was SGID) and our umask setting got us
group-write.
