I think so.

If you're building using MSYS, why are you running mingw32-make?  You
are MUCH better off using the make.exe provided by MSYS.

Right, because mingw32-make knows NOTHING about the MSYS file system
structure, and there is no such thing as /bin/mkdir in the pure
Windows environment, which it does know about.

No, nor do we provide one, because in the *nix world it is mostly
superseded by the shell's built-in getopts utility.  In any case, you
don't need any such utility here; you do need to run the MSYS make,
which will know to invoke the /bin/mkdir in the MSYS /bin directory,
so that this build recipe can create the getopt build DIRECTORY.
