As Tomas mentioned, this is required to know which target to clean.

You can try specifying FPC=$PWD/compiler/ppcx64 when doing the "make 
install" to ensure it has the same default target as the one that was 
just built.

If all else fails, you can try remake to see why it is recompiling 
things: https://github.com/rocky/remake/
