On Linux, Gnu’s “install” command is happy if the target directory already exists; it just changes the mode (-m) etc. So the race isn’t a big deal.

This is like the race I described (theoretical at the time) at <https://bugs.python.org/issue25696#msg255393>, although that is about $(LIBPC) not $(LIBDIR). I suggested adding a separate target (a bit like Paul’s “make-directories” suggestion; see my -4.patch in that bug), but it didn’t get much support.

A more conservative patch would be a phony target that retains the existing “if / echo / install” logic.
