Could moving the cleanup files have managed to have confused the makefile process?
Yes.  I have seen other cases, such as moving a file to another
directory leads to problems until a full rebuild is done.  This can
also affect installations.  If a file is moved to a different subdirectory
in the library structure the old copy may not be removed (the install
depends on overwriting to do the update).  Then if the previous
subdirectory is searched first, the old copy is found.  It might be safer
if the install script did an rm  -r  xxx before copying in the new libraries.
