I think that this is a very special behaviour that doesn't deserve a
general solution. Every package should be prepared for being reinstalled
over an old version, as this is what usually happens if people build it
manually.

Is it possible have an "rm" command that is a long-term solution?
Something like this:
rm '$(PREFIX)/$(TARGET)'/lib/libx*.a
but with less collateral damage?

This is always a good idea.

Maybe, but our explicit test scripts are usually a more reliable
_and_ faster way of testing linking. And our own tests ensure that
linking is always possible with a certain simple command - rather
than some (possibly complicated) autogenerated command of the
package's build system.
