>Description:
NetBSD's mkdir(2) causes an error (ENOENT) if the first argment ends
with "/". e.g. mkdir("/foo/", mode)

Linux's mkdir(2) succeeds even if the first argment ends with "/".

The Linux emulator of NetBSD does NOT take care of this difference. Consider a Linux application which call mkdir("/foo/", mode). It runs well
on Linux but not on NetBSD's Linux emulation.

I guess other emulations including FreeBSD optentially have the same bug.
I have no idea of other system calls like stat(), open(), ...

>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the following code on Linux and run it on NetBSD like
"a.out /foo/". This operation must succeed.

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <errno.h>

main (int argc, char **argv)
{
        mode_t mode, dir_mode;

        mode = (S_IRWXU | S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO) & ~umask(0);
        dir_mode = mode | S_IWUSR | S_IXUSR;

        if (mkdir(argv[1], dir_mode) == -1) {
                perror("");
        }
}

>Fix:
Import the mkdir(1) hack to the Linux emulation.
