Does 'make all' followed by 'make install' do the same?  If so
these are indeed very bad.

If you run 'make all', and then if you run, without changing
anything to cause rebuilding, run 'make install', the build
procedure should not create _any_ new file.  Otherwise the build
procedure is broken and needs to be fixed.
