Because the Makefile that comes with org-mode does create the
directory where it is supposed to put those files, and obviously
you have given this specific path in the header of the Makefile.

For the ease of maintenance it may be better to install org-mode
into a directory that does not depend on the specific version of Emacs
you are using.  This could be either a directory in your own home
directory (then you would have to add the path to the Emacs load path).
Or it could be something like /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp - you 
need
to check your system to find out where the version-independent site-lisp
directory is located.
