The recommended way is 
make clean all && make idepkg

The idemake.cfg contains additional compiler options to compile an IDE with
packages. With make OPT='@/home/user/.lazarus/idemake.cfg' you apply them to
the LCL, codetools and synedit too. There can be cases where the additional
options will alter the compiling process. The save way is to first build
lazarus clean and then rebuild only the lazarus.pp with the additional
options.

make idepkg

does the same as

make ide OPT='@/home/user/.lazarus/idemake.cfg'
