No, I simply use crunchgen very often, and it does 'make depend' for each
program in crunch.conf. It's usually inconvenient to first create obj tree
for each program, or to remove the old one - what seems more appropriate
here is that 'make clean' would also remove the old .depend, wherever they
are at the moment (i.e. either in obj tree or in src tree).

This is not a good option when using crunchgen to build just a couple of
programs, not the full 'make world'...
