There usually is a "make uninstall", too.
But I suggest to use stow, or better, xstow, to install software. It goes
like this:
cd myproject-1.2.3
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/myproject-1.2.3
make
su
emerge xstow
make install
cd /usr/local/stow
stow myproject-1.2.3
Now you have symlinks in /usr/local, as if you installed into /usr/local
directly. To uninstall, issue a 'xstow -D myproject-1.2.3' and
remove /usr/local/stow/myproject-1.2.3. All clean and tidy again.
