The main Makefile takes all version information from index.html,
but the checksums are taken from src/*.mk so that changes will still
result in a rebuild of the respective package.

I can't reproduce this issue. First, nothing is changing index.html,
except "make update". Second, even if index.html was changed, this
would not impose any rebuilds (only changes to *.mk cause rebuilds):

    $ hg id
    268ab7fb90bb tip
    $ make
    make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
    $ touch index.html 
    $ make
    make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
    $ touch src/xmlwrapp.mk 
    $ make
    [build]    xmlwrapp
    [done]     xmlwrapp
    $ make
    make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

I don't know what went wrong, but note that I introduced some
other organizatorial changes which changed lots of *.mk files.
If you want to prevent MXE from rebuilding anything, you can
use the following workaround:

    touch usr/installed/*   # Use with care!

Otherwise, I recommend:

    hg pull -u
    make clean
    make
