We always to "clean" builds, we delete everything, do fresh checkout from CVS and rebuild everything except bjam. The reasons for it are: 1. It seems to me that bjam doesn't seem to track all dependencies (i.e. the dependencies on toolsets) 2. We wanted to make sure that what we are in complete sync with CVS.
