That's the hallmark of make-based projects. SCons projects, OTOH, almost
never needs to do that (except if you totally screwed up your SCons
scripts). The super-complicated SCons script that I described in another

equivalent of a clean. I've been updating, branching, merging the
workspace for years now, and it Just Builds -- correctly at that.
