xf86Build.h (and other things) get rebuilt because a 'make all' gets executed in some directories before 'make install'. Although related, it is more a consequence of how subdirectory dependencies are handled than the FRC targets specifically. I'd like to use the method I first tried for the libGL build to handle things like this. This would eliminate ForceSubdirs, SubdirLibraryTarget, and a few other things. In the meantime, fixing the module rules will deal with probably 90% of these issues. Handling xf86Build.h for installing from a read-only filesystem could probably be dealt with in the meantime by making the creation of build.new non-fatal.
