Did you try to run "make doctor"?

Normally, incremental builds work fine, but they are not 100% proof. In 
particular, "make reconfigure" can cause situations that an incremental 
build cannot properly resolve. (This is printed as a warning if you 
modify an existing configuration, with a recommendation to start by 
cleaning the build for a guaranteed successes, but it works most of the 
time, so people tend to ignore it...)
