Beats me whats best, I have always been able to switch from one target to another without a distclean, so I made it do the same (a long time ago by the way ;-) Obviously the other 2.6 targets are rebuild the link at build time, which fits with 2.6's just make it work and make it right rebuild approach. A distclean when switching targets does make sense though, can't think of anything (well except perhaps top level config.in files etc) which will get removed and affect the build. Try it an see.
