From @zoffixznet

Reportedly, `mkdir` on an existing directory (e.g. `mkdir '/'`) succeeds on Linux, but fails on OSX​:

The two should behave the same. IMO linux's behaviour is more desirable.

There is more discussion on the behavior of mkdir on an existing directory in rakudo/rakudo#1357. (Not specific to OS X, but about the question if it should fail or not.)
