When is it *really* neccesary to do 'make clean'

In order to save much time on compiling/recompiling kernels for a project
I'm working on I'd like to know exactly when a 'make dep;make clean' is
necessary vs. just a make zImage, make modules, make modules_install.

It would be nice to keep the .o files around from a previous compilation
and just link them back in if we can.

Thanks.
