:It bails out because /usr/include doesn't exist.

:Attached patch creates the appropriate directories if they do not exist.
:One small caveat, mkdir is hardwired and not a make variable.

I don't think I would consider this a bug per-say. /usr/include is
nominally created when /usr is laid out by mtree so the include
subsystem is correct to assume that it already exists. I think this
could be considered a safety or sanity-check feature (remember, you
can always specify a different target base directory and if you make
a mistake there it's probably better for the system to refuse to install).
If there was a bug it was in my instructions :-)
