Aha.

I don't know how this can happen. Perhaps it's related to that time you
ran out of inodes recently? A 'mkdir -p' failed, but the next ordinary
copy command succeeded. After that the 'mkdir -p' would fail on every
'make modules_install' with a message like `cdrom' exists but is not
a directory.

But the top-level Makefile doesn't check the return status of these
commands. Yet another Makefile bug.
