You build world WITHOUT_TESTS=true, don't you ?
There are many of these flags that are somehow missed when creating
directories at install.
FWIW, with more WITHOUT flags set to true, my own list of directories
created again and again is :

I think some similar cases were fixed a few months ago by NGie Cooper but
it was apparently those he stumbled on by himself or some specific bug
reports rather than the start of a more exhaustive sweep.
I suppose opening a PR could have helped but I procrastinated :-(.
