hmmm I don't think this is the problem, but it's an interesting
thought. 

the failing syscall is I think mkdir
with flags  (mode 755)
I'm pretty sure the argument was an absolute path..
possibly it's '/usr' if teh stat failure was not real.

 4690 mkdir    RET   umask 18/0x12
  4690 mkdir    CALL  old.stat(0xbfbfeddb,0xbfbfecd8)
  4690 mkdir    RET   old.stat -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
  4690 mkdir    CALL  mkdir(0xbfbfeddb,0x1ed)
  4690 mkdir    RET   mkdir -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
