Thanks!

New patch, rename mkdirp() to mkdirp_below(). :)

I just had a thought; parent and dirpath are currently treated as
either absolute or relative cwd but perhaps dirpath should always
be treated as absolute or relative parent instead?

mkdirp_below("subdir","x/y/z",077);

would create subdir/x/y/z. Feels much more intuitive, no?
