If I drop assert(mkdir_p...) then all works. rootfs and the below dirs
all have the rights "0755" so all good, but this issue doesn't happen
on 64bits which is a bit strange for me. Maybe there is something wrong
in mkdir.c -> mkdir_p function.

Anyway I've asked around and some people said that using assert on
"mkdir_p" is kind of a bad idea, but I'm not a developer so I wouldn't
know.
