The output directories usually have the form lib/cpu-os/
Is it possible to put a .gitignore in "lib"?

Then you have to add the command line params manually. I guess you
don't create them every time manually. Probably you are lazy like me
and store them in some file or doc and use copy and paste. Then it is
easy to prepend the "mkdir -p" command too.

Apropos not building with laz:
fpmake creates the output directory too.
