This is true for make, but not true for build systems in general. It
is entirely possible to have minimal incremental builds and avoid the
use of a manual "clean" to support cases where files have been moved
or deleted. I agree with Robert's position that the build system is
broken if an incremental build fails where a full build would succeed
after an update.
