This is how the util-linux source package installs them, see also:

That's a flaw in the source's 'make install', which is not automake 
based.  The util-linux source provides several /usr/sbin commands as 
well, but none of them are relevant to Cygwin and are not built; the 
makefiles create this directory anyway, regardless if anything is 
installed into it.
