Doesn't the "all" target mkdir work for this case? Why do we need another mkdir here?

I was wondering about that, too. Looks like the code from the all target is copy/pasted in the install target except the mkdir line. Best fix would be to make the dependency work, I don't understand why it doesn't already, tho.
