Yes, it is. Take a look at gnulib's modules/mkdir file, and then
examine its dependencies (sys_stat), then its dependencies'
dependencies, etc. etc. I went only two levels deep, and saw most of
the symbols you show.

This is why I suggested an alternative and much smaller and more
elegant solution.
