You could use checkinstall to make a package, install it (forcibly if
necessary), then remove it. That might wipe away the things installed
when you did "make install" since checkinstall should note which files
were to be installed, add them to its manifest, then construct the
package such that those files will be removed when the package is
uninstalled.

No promises, though...
