I always do

make clean && make dep && make ......

Notes:
  1) I've always done clean and then dep ever since a problem on Alpha
        where it created a file during dep and deleted it in clean.

        2) I always use && instead of ; - that way if one of the stages fails
        you don't miss it.

        3) The ..... - some architectures like zImage, some like Image, some
        like boot; hell I can never remember which a particular platform
        needs. I wish we had some commonality (hmm - an 'itso' target).

        4) Generally make {menu|x}config tells you the story for x86 at the
        end.
