build-tools/srpm-utils does not recognize /usr/bin/mkdir in spec files

[M. Vefa Bicakci]

srpm-utils in cgcs-root/build-tools/srpm-utils does not recognize /usr/bin/mkdir as an alias for mkdir command. This breaks package preparation/builds when a spec file uses %{__mkdir} instead of mkdir, as %{__mkdir} expands to /usr/bin/mkdir.

One example is CentOS 8-Stream's iptables package.

I have prepared a quick-and-dirty patch to resolve this issue, and I am opening this bug as a placeholder to refer to.

    srpm-utils: Recognize /usr/bin/mkdir as well

    This commit allows the code in the srpm-utils script to recognize
    /usr/bin/mkdir (as an alias for mkdir).

    In summary, some SRPMs in CentOS 8 such as iptables make use of the
    %{__mkdir} macro, which expands to /usr/bin/mkdir, which in turn was not
    recognized by srpm-utils.

    Verification: build-pkgs --edit now works with a version of iptables
    imported from CentOS 8.
