build: fix npm install with --shared
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The npm install rules had a hidden dependency on the `node` binary
install rule creating the `$PREFIX/bin` directory.

Because with `./configure --shared` no binary is created, the rule
subsequently failed.  Fix that by creating the directory before
creating the symlinks to the npm and npx scripts.

(Whether it makes sense to install npm without a `node` binary is
a separate question.  This commit is not taking positions. :-))

Regression introduced in commit ed8c89a ("build: fix shared installing
target") which, as the commit log indicates, was itself a bug fix for
the `./configure --shared` install.

Fixes: nodejs#16437
