Responsible-Changed-Why:
We don't normally create directories in .mk files, and this
problem is the same as not having /sbin before attempting to
install into it -- i.e., there's more than one way to shoot
yourself in the foot.
We usually populate hierarchy with mtree(8), during the
installworld. One "fix" to the problem may be to "make
hierarchy" during the installkernel part of Makefile.inc1.
The patch in the PR is not quite right, as it does not
account for DESTDIR.
Since this problem is well-known to me, and I don't know
of any solution that I'd like to see committed, I'm
returning the ownership back to the pool.
