It's bogus to create a directory that was never configured, especially if
--without-local-prefix is given. Egcs really shouldn't *create* the
directory at all based on $(local_prefix), it should just use
/usr/local/include (and silently fail if it isn't there, which it already
does), unless --without-local-prefix is given.
The default $(prefix) will create /usr/local anyway. The mkdir command for
$(local_prefix) should be yanked.
