The build is failing.  That's not the problem.  (Some unit tests are
failing...)  This strange error message is quite baffling.  Have you
come across anything like it before?

I looked it up on the internet and found some people saying that mkdir
must not be on PATH.  The system32 folder most certainly is... "mkdir"
is a valid command in cmd.exe...  Any thoughts?
