The main point is that `make clean' does not delete the compiled lisp files (and cannot, since they are prebuilt in lisp tarfiles). `make maintainer-clean', or `make bootstrap' does. Always use `make bootstrap' if CPU time is not a factor, even when building the same branch. (Presumably this issue is going to occur more in the git-era, since it doesn't have shared repos.)
