Is it not possible to pu tsome directive in the Makefile in order to make

check the presence of *.elc without corresponding *.el and deleting them
BEFORE or simultaneously with recompilation process?

It should improve the compilation process.

Maybe it could be create a new directive such as

make clean-install

to keep make install with backward compatibility.

Unfortunately I do not master makefile issues to do this by myself.

The phrase "omitting the "make clean" has the potential to cause problems"
may lead to "bogus bugs" here in the list. These king of bugs are really
hard ti find.
