Did the configure process give any warnings? This seems a problem with the basic shell tools on your system. Since we cannot reproduce it, please try to investigate a bit more, e.g. by looking at what could go wrong when ./configure creates kaffeine/player-parts/Makefile from kaffeine/player-parts/Makefile.in (when @mkdir_p@ should be replaced with something meaningful)
I had Unsermake enabled and had the same error. Just tried without it and everything went smooth.
Ok, closing.
why closing? if not a bug in kaffeine, then this is a bug in unsermake, isn't it?
Because we cannot do much to fix it, unsermake is not fully supported and by us (and by software authors, it seems), so it should be "used at your own risk".
