Usually, yes. You only have to make clean && ./reconf && ./configure if the autoconf files of Gambas change. One source of such a change is adding a new source file to (a C/C++ component of) Gambas, which may or may not have happened since your last pull. If you pay attention to where files changed, you don't have to reconfigure the whole tree (reconf-all in the root), but only in directories where changes occured. But if you checkout another branch it is a good bet you have to make clean && ./reconf-all && ./configure, because you would suspect more substantial changes between, say, different stable releases.
