Per Google, most likely there's a symlink loop in the source.

See mkdirat(2) (it refers to ELOOP).

See also errno(2), which has: 31 EMLINK Too many links

It also has 

62 ELOOP Too many levels of symbolic links

Your message has the text from EMLINK, but mkdirat only mentions ELOOP. 
That's not dispositive, though (I should look at the code for mkdirat, 
but not gonna).

In either case, the problem is almost certainly, as the error message, 
indicates, too many links (hard or symbolic), not too few inodes.

It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that 
have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are 
mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.
