According to Welsh and Kaufman (Running Linux), 2nd edition, Step 3,
after "make dep" is:
If you have built a kernel from this source before, run `make
clean' to clear out old object files and force a complete
rebuild.
I've always done this over a number of years, first on 2.0.x and now on
2.2.x series, and never had any problems.
On the other hand, I once did `make proper' which I think is advised in
the kernel README, or elsewhere, and that did screw things up.
