Hi. Newcomer here. I was taking a look at #9095 and I get the following errors when running `make sdist`.
{{{ "rm" -f sdistprep/ghc-7.9.20141208-windows-extra-src.tar.bz2 mkdir sdistprep mkdir: cannot create directory ‘sdistprep’: File exists make[1]: [sdist-windows-tarballs-prep] Error 1 (ignored) mkdir sdistprep/windows-tarballs mkdir sdistprep/windows-tarballs/ghc-7.9.20141208 mkdir sdistprep/windows-tarballs/ghc-7.9.20141208/ghc-tarballs cd sdistprep/windows-tarballs/ghc-7.9.20141208/ghc-tarballs && lndir /home/joe/src/ghc/ghc-tarballs "rm" -rf sdistprep/windows-tarballs/ghc-7.9.20141208/ghc-tarballs/.git cd sdistprep/windows-tarballs && "/bin/tar" chf - ghc-7.9.20141208 2> windows_extra_src_ghc_log | bzip2 -c > /home/joe/src/ghc/sdistprep/ghc-7.9.20141208-windows-extra-src.tar.bz2 "rm" -rf sdistprep/testsuite-ghc "rm" -f sdistprep/ghc-7.9.20141208-testsuite.tar.bz2 mkdir sdistprep mkdir: cannot create directory ‘sdistprep’: File exists make[1]: [sdist-testsuite-prep] Error 1 (ignored) mkdir sdistprep/testsuite-ghc mkdir sdistprep/testsuite-ghc/ghc-7.9.20141208 mkdir sdistprep/testsuite-ghc/ghc-7.9.20141208/testsuite cd sdistprep/testsuite-ghc/ghc-7.9.20141208/testsuite && lndir /home/joe/src/ghc/testsuite /home/joe/src/ghc/testsuite: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [sdist-testsuite-prep] Error 1 make: *** [sdist] Error 2 }}}
Generally when using `mkdir` in a Makefile I've found it best to always use `mkdir -p` just like you should how you should always use `rm -f`.
It's a simple fix. I'm submitting a patch for it.
