To overcome this problem in 5.0, Huidae Cho has been implementing
gmake5 -i

If the module was already installed etc, you can use the flag to
get an updated modules into the final place without running the 
entire make install process again. It directly copies the updated
module from dist.$ARCH to /usr/local/grass/... or wherever your
grass5 lives. Nice feature, just try it.
