The only clean state is if you remove the entire source tree and check it
out again. (Of course to save bandwidth, you copy the checked out source
tree to a temporary location, do your testing, and then remove that
temporary tree.) Relying on make clean or make uninstall is flawed,
because those are among the things you want to test.
