Ah, I see the problem now.  locking.html is generated in $(srcdir), but
it goes via an intermediate locking.html.tmp, which is indeed generated
in $(builddir).  I didn't catch it earlier, because I was testing an
in-tree build (where the builddir happens to already exist, since it is
also the srcdir).

I'll push the obvious fix (restoring the MKDIR_P, but without the
problematic $(builddir) that RHEL 5 didn't like).
