OK, I thought I would try one at a time first - to more accurately
pinpoint the exact cause.

I didn't have a components/customdrawn/units/ directory, but I did
have a components/customdrawn/lib/ directory.

Removing that 'lib' directory, and then trying to rebuild the IDE via
the 'Tools > Configure Build Lazarus' worked!

So that simply means there was outdated compiled units left behind. So
why didn't 'make clean' as I originally ran it, or the 'make
bigideclean' as Mattias suggested clean out this directory?

So the 'make clean<whatever>' doesn't actually do a very good job. :-(


Anyway, thanks for finding a solution to my problem. Now all that
remains, is fixing the 'make clean...' issue.
