Subject: Fix mkdir -p with absolute paths.
X-Git-Tag: 0.5.0~291
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=02f5a30ec0acf6c42441e5b06fb3ab41f629952a;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Ftoybox.git

Fix mkdir -p with absolute paths.

Stripping leading / is not the right thing to do there.
Broken when the code moved to lib and was genericized for use elsewhere.
