+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_FUNC_MKDIR
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Check whether mkdir() is mkdir or _mkdir, and whether it takes one or
+#   two arguments.
+#
+#   This macro can define HAVE_MKDIR, HAVE__MKDIR, and MKDIR_TAKES_ONE_ARG,
+#   which are expected to be used as follows:
+#
+#     #if HAVE_MKDIR
+#     #  if MKDIR_TAKES_ONE_ARG
+#          /* MinGW32 */
+#     #    define mkdir(a, b) mkdir(a)
+#     #  endif
+#     #else
+#     #  if HAVE__MKDIR
+#          /* plain Windows 32 */
+#     #    define mkdir(a, b) _mkdir(a)
+#     #  else
+#     #    error "Don't know how to create a directory on this system."
+#     #  endif
+#     #endif

+dnl =====
+dnl I have not implemented the following suggestion because I don't have
+dnl access to such a broken environment to test the macro.  So I'm just
+dnl appending the comments here in case you have, and want to fix
+dnl AX_FUNC_MKDIR that way.

+dnl |Thomas E. Dickey (dickey@herndon4.his.com) said:
+dnl |  it doesn't cover the problem areas (compilers that mistreat mkdir
+dnl |  may prototype it in dir.h and dirent.h, for instance).
+dnl |
+dnl |Alexandre:
+dnl |  Would it be sufficient to check for these headers and #include
+dnl |  them in the AC_COMPILE_IFELSE block?  (and is AC_HEADER_DIRENT
+dnl |  suitable for this?)
+dnl |
+dnl |Thomas:
+dnl |  I think that might be a good starting point (with the set of recommended
+dnl |  ifdef's and includes for AC_HEADER_DIRENT, of course).
