The previous commit largely optimized the object directory creation. We can optimize it more for incremental build. There are already *.cmd files in the output directory. The existing *.cmd files have been picked up by $(wildcard ...). Obviously, directories containing them exist too, so we can skip "mkdir -p". With this, Kbuild runs almost zero "mkdir -p" in incremental building.
