This seems to indicate that some header where you have a prototype of
mkdir (which on your system takes 1 argument) was seen by the
compiler _after_ config.h, and thus it was processed as the prototype
of fixed_mkdir.

You need to "#define mkdir fixed_mkdir" after all the header files are
included.  Thus, config.h is not a good place for it.
