Ah!  I didn't see target 'compile-dirty'.  Thank you for the hint.

So for now I'm happy with the build process with the existence of

    make compile-dirty

and further

    make test-dirty

Also the names are well chosen AFAICT.

I agree that the commit should be reverted and I already did the revert.
Please accept my apology for the irritation about the build behavior.


Best regards
