Subject: "make clean": how it's needed?

I have this doubt, the "standard" procedure to build a kernel(2.2.x/2.4.x) is:
make menuconfig
make dep
make clean // ... when?
make modules
make bzImage
...

so, when I really _MUST_ run "make clean"?
always?
only after that I have applied a patch?

I think that many old "*.o" files are still good... and so, why I should
recompile them every time?

Bye,
Paolo
