I installed a more recent version of GNU coreutils from source, and
compared /bin/mkdir to /usr/local/bin/mkdir. I found /bin/mkdir gives
output like yours, but the /usr/local output is much shorter and doesn't
include any references to selinux:

"-r" prints a relative timestamp upon entry to each system call.

Try this version of mkdir earlier in your PATH until you find out what
the delay is.
you% mkdir /tmp/mkdir
you% chmod 1777 /tmp/mkdir
you% cat /usr/local/bin/mkdir
#!/bin/sh
tfile=$(date '+%Y%m%d%H%M%S')
exec /usr/bin/strace -r -o /tmp/mkdir/$tfile /bin/mkdir ${1+"$@"}
exit 1
