It was found that 'mkdir -p --verbose C:/' incorrectly reported
that 'C:/' was created.
Commit 0e0b5e9ff8 (mingw.c: ignore EACCES from mkdir if directory
exists) fixed a failure to create directories but caused the
`mkdir` applet to issue the wrong diagnostic.
The underlying problem is in the Windows runtime implementation
of _mkdir(): it can return the wrong errno in some cases, EACCES
instead of EEXIST.
Having the mkdir(2) wrapper return the correct errno should fix
both the directory creation and verbose diagnostic problems.
