From 8ff6b1c417910f9a7f69ae98d120f2c798a0c18f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
Date: Sat, 28 Dec 2019 00:27:58 +0000
Subject: [PATCH] Error handling: Often say `subdirmk' rather than `$0'

The latter is generally a path (`.../generate') and may be confusing.
