I think that the available Documentetion about "REcompiling a kernel" is a 
little confusing (about the use of "make clean").

EXAMPLES:

source: "The Linux Kernel HOWTO"
...When the configure script ends, it also tells you to `make dep' and
(possibly) `clean'...

...For older versions of the kernel, when finished, you should do a `make
clean'...

...In any case, do not forget this step before attempting to recompile a
kernel.

possibly?
only for older versions of kernel?
in any case?
WHEN?

source: www.linuxchix.org
...Sometimes, you'll change things so much that "make" can't figure out how
to recompile the files correctly. "make clean" will remove all the object
files (ending in .o) and a few other things...

ok, this seems more convincing...

Can anyone be more clear?

Bye,
Paolo
