These are wrong. Unfortunately, there're lots of bugs in the Makefiles
throughout the Ports Tree.

These are correct.

It might not be articulated loud enough, but it's pretty obvious once you
think about it: muted commands won't appear in the build log, which makes
it harder to debug and fix any issues.
mkdir's are often muted because they do not have the same "debug value" as
installation commands, but all cp/COPYTREE_SHARE/ln/etc. commands should
not be muted. This is pretty common knowledge in our community, I find it
strange that you've never heard of it.
