At present I nuke .root and root  in my build_xxx/uclibc dir and do a
make and everything is installed again.  Maybe its just my luck ...

If we add .stamp_xxx to the build dir ... I guess my luck will run
out ;)

I really think some kind of unification needs to be agreed apon, this
would include targets, deps ... etc. Maybe a wiki on standards,
guidelines ... etc?  from my mucking around I've seen very many ways to
do the same thing, not all the right way and most of the time the wrong
way is more commonly used.
