Details

make_dir() creates path components one at a time. When it gets an absolute path, it considers the root directory '/' as the first directory separator, and tries to create directory by the name whats on its left side, i.e., nothing.

The mkdir() failure that follows has been harmless as we've ignored it, but with #44940 that's about to change.
