Description Alexandre Rostovtsev 2012-06-24 18:13:07 UTC 
$(mkdir_p) was declared obsolete in automake-1.10, deprecated in 1.12, and will be entirely removed in 1.13. It needs to be replaced with $(MKDIR_P).

Attempting to build telepathy-python-0.15.19 after autoreconf with automake-1.12.1 results in failure, as reported downstream at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=423249

telepathy-python is also obsolete. What code do you need it for?
