Those in packages built for the host machine are built by the
top-level configure; those built for the target machine (you can tell
from the fact that they are configured within a directory named after
the target triplet) are build by the top-level make, after building
the compiler.

If it's a target build directory, just wipe it out, then make will
recreate it.

If everything else fails, starting from scratch is always an option
:-)
