I didn't mean to patch the library, I meant to write a substitute for
it.  For example, you write a function called fixed_mkdir that does
the right thing with the second argument, then say

  #define mkdir fixed_mkdir

in some header included by all the sources except the one that
defines fixed_mkdir's code.
