In this case coreutils tries the mkdir() and handles exceptions.

I see the bash example mkdir loadable here:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=bash.git;a=blob;f=examples/loadables/mkdir.c
The final stat/mkdir call looks like the following,
and could possibly be adjusted to the pattern above?
Sure, that's not unreasonable. I'll see what I can do.
Also worth noting that using a mkdir loadable for speed
should be carefully considered, as mkdir isn't a trivial
operation wrt cross platform issues, permissions,
and SELinux contexts etc.
I'm pretty sure the bash loadable implements the POSIX mkdir as specified.
