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.
