NOTE -- please comment out the following three lines in the top-level Makefile -- not doing so will result in you potentially obliterating all of the writable files on your build target, as this will effectively perform an rm -Rf / under certain conditions.
ifeq ($(filter $(BUILD_TREE_STATE),$(BUILD_TREE_SRCDIR_INSTALL) $(BUILD_TREE_UNCONFIGURED)),) CLEAN_TARGETS += clean_install_dir endif
I deeply apologize for the inconvenience; I'm working on rectifying the issue ASAP and will email again once it's resolved; I will add a regression test for this ASAP in the build test scripts I've recently authored so this doesn't happen again.
