Which ones? There re several, depending on what you want to do.
In your case, the best option is to "install in place", I think (you
don't want to create tarballs for distribution, since those aren't
compiled anyway). So
git clone .../elpa
cd elpa
make externals
make
Should do what you want. I rebuild in this way on a regular basis, so
I'm pretty sure that it works to some extent, but there might be issues
with the initial setup, or temporary problems. "make -k" lets you go
past some temporary problems in specific packages.

Those Makefiles aren't used by the above recipe (which only uses
.../elpa/GNUmakefile).
