Hi Jeff,

I use specific targets with make for the things I want:

  make lisp/org-install.el
  make doc/org.info
  make doc/org.pdf

Other than these (and org.pdf is rare) I don't use any other targets
that I am aware of.

You can remove *.elc files with git using

  git clean *.elc

You can run make targets with -n to display what they would do (but not
actually do anything).  As far as I know the make install task only
builds the *.elc files if necessary and updates the system level emacs.

Try:

  make -n install

and look at the resulting output.

Regards,
Bernt
