What's wrong here?

MkDir1 ..\..\..\..\c:

mkdir "..\..\..\..\c:" 
...failed MkDir1 ..\..\..\..\c:...
...skipped ..\..\..\..\c:\tmp for lack of ..\..\..\..\c:...
...skipped ..\..\..\..\c:\tmp\build-mtl4 for lack of ..\..\..\..\c:\tmp...
...skipped ..\..\..\..\c:\tmp\build-mtl4\libs for lack of
..\..\..\..\c:\tmp\build-mtl4...
...skipped ..\..\..\..\c:\tmp\build-mtl4\libs\sequence for lack of
..\..\..\..\c:\tmp\build-mtl4\libs...
...skipped ..\..\..\..\c:\tmp\build-mtl4\libs\sequence\algorithm for lack of

Also, is it possible to set up a general build-dir in my user-config.jam?
