That sounds more like a FPC bug than Lazarus. Lazarus only checks file dates. If a change is in interface or implementation doesn't matter.

I'm not sure what you mean 'build Lazarus itself' and 'Lazarus is owned by the "root"'.

'make clean' in Lazarus source directory deletes .ppu and .o files of IDE, lazbuild and bigide components. This is useful, when a source file was removed from a package.
