if you do
'make clean'
it will redo everything, sure.
I don't think you need to clean up everything everytime. Take the "clean" out of
the line above and you should be ok.
Note that deoendancies are not related to what is in your /lib/modules (should not
they,
by the way ??), but to what you have in /usr/src/linux/modules. Which is annoying,
since you
cannot clean up object files from that directory without redoing everything the next
time.
