Might want to 'git submodule deinit --all --force' to purge
all currently checked out submodules, so it'll then re-init
them in a clean (older) state. In theory this should be handled
by the git-submodule.sh script we have in QEMU, but 'deinit' is
a big hammer to try if wierd things appear to be happening
despite cleaning the build dir.

Save your previous 'build' directory contents somewhere safe
and record the submodule checkout hashes, so they can be
reset to that ?
