That's one way; another is to say "make extraclean".

But what about the *.eln files? are they also reused?  That cannot
work, I think.

Also, I think the games you play with the *.pdmp files is the reason
for the problem.  Emacs decides where to look for the *.eln files by
the place where it finds the .pdmp file, and you rename those and use
symlinks for them.  I'm not sure the startup code supports what you
expect it to support.  I suggest to step in a debugger through the
code in load_pdump, and see which of the *.pdmp files it finds in the
problematic case; my guess is that it finds the one in the build
directory, not in the installation directory.

I see you copy the *.eln files for the Lucid and no-X build, but not
for the GTK3 build?

Yes.
