Personally I don't even re-run make depend - after all the whole point of
make depend is that it makes it reasonably safe to run incremental makes.
Every now and then something is going to happen which just an incremental
make isn't good enough for - but personally I take that risk, and just do a
complete make clean;make depend;make;make install when the urge takes me.
