Mhhh, strange, i downgraded to doxygen version 1.5.6 (from oldstable)
which did the building just fine without creating directories myself as well...
Anyway, does this fix this problem for you:
=== modified file 'doc/makefile'
--- doc/makefile 2010-03-19 15:29:40 +0000
+++ doc/makefile 2011-06-29 13:23:54 +0000
@@ -101,6 +101,7 @@
$(BUILD)/doc/doxygen-stamp: $(DOXYGEN_SOURCES) $(BUILD)/doc/Doxyfile
rm -fr $(BUILD)/doc/doxygen
+ mkdir $(BUILD)/doc/doxygen
$(DOXYGEN) $(BUILD)/doc/Doxyfile
touch $(BUILD)/doc/doxygen-stamp
If so i will just apply it as it can't really hurt...
Best regards
