* lib/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m, which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>. Also, don't bother to check for -m bugs unless we're using -m; suggested by Stepan Kasal.
