My advice for BerkeleyDB is to simply build it with --prefix=/usr and see where everything goes. I bet you get lucky. (I had required distinct --prefix and --exec-prefix, and BerkeleyDB could not accomodate that.) You might check another package, but I suspect that $(sbindir) is /usr/sbin. (Hmm, there is also stuff in my Cygwin /usr/libexec, were those packages built incorrectly?) Hope this helps.
