Bug in mkdir ?

[klaus.berndl@sdm.de]

Hello,

i´m using mkdir (GNU Fileutils 4.0) of the latest cygwin and it seems that the -p option
is not correct handled with all path-styles:
   mkdir -p <driveletter>:/any/path/to/a/new/dir
and
   mkdir -p /cygdrive/<driveletter>/any/path/to/a/new/dir 
are working correct. But if i write
   mkdir -p //<driveletter>/any/path/to/a/new/dir 
then the file is not created if it doesn´t exists (wrong), if it exists already
nothing is done (correct).

I know that this pathstyle (//driveletter>/...) is somehow "deprecated" but IMHO
nevertheless it should be handled correct by every tools at least until this style is officially
not supported.

Ciao,
Klaus
