As i wrote the port is clean.... NO WORK DIR, SO NO .install_done !

This happens also with a clean port (no work-dir) with

$ make install

nothing happens

$ make install

the make starts... so here cant the maybe (but really not) existing
.install_done file disappear. But with clean and install both in one
make the problem appears more times.
