Out of curiosity, what kind of errors? I imagine stuff involving
cross-references, the index, etc.?
It's more that there are a variety of outputs generated from the doc
source - pdf, split html, large html, info, etc. - to be sure that the
source is OK you need to be certain all have been generated and
therefore checked, and the simplest way of ensuring that is from a clean
build.
