That's because you *need* the directory to be populated.

Something is wrong in your installation.
When, you think about this problem, think about it from the point of
view that many people (me, for instance) are building cygwin. We don't
build it by hacking at the Makefile. We build it by having the complete
sources installed.
If you have to start editing things, you're obviously going down the
wrong track.
