`libffi/Makefile.in' is generated from `libffi/Makefile.am' where
mkinstalldirs isn't defined, hence we get Automake's definition.

My guess is that Automake has not been invoked correctly.
There is a difference between "cd libffi && automake Makefile" and
"automake libffi/Makefile".  The second would normally be correct,
but in GCC things may be more difficult.  (I haven't tried that yet.)
