>Description:
Whenever I try to build devel/gettext with Linux compatibility enabled, it fails during the installation step:

Making install in intl-java
/compat/linux/bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/share/gettext
/compat/linux/bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/share/doc/gettext/javadoc2
/compat/linux/bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/share/doc/gettext/javadoc2/gnu/gettext
install  -o root -g wheel -m 444 ./javadoc2/index.html /usr/local/share/doc/gettext/javadoc2/index.html
install: /usr/local/share/doc/gettext/javadoc2/index.html: No such file or directory
*** Error code 71

Stop in /var/tmp/usr/ports/devel/gettext/work/gettext-0.18/gettext-runtime/intl-java.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /var/tmp/usr/ports/devel/gettext/work/gettext-0.18/gettext-runtime/intl-java.
*** Error code

Running the build and install process inside "script" and diffing the output shows that the port tries to use /compat/linux/bin/mkdir (from emulators/linux_base-f10) instead of /bin/mkdir:

Using the Linux mkdir causes the directories to be created in /compat/linux instead of / and the rest of the install script is understandably unhappy about that. I can easily repeat this on my system. If you need any further information or experimentation, I'll be happy to provide it.
>How-To-Repeat:
# kldload linux; cd /usr/ports/devel/gettext; make clean; make install
	
>Fix:
# kldunload linux; cd /usr/ports/devel/gettext; make clean; make install
