This should be "make clean && make depend && make.  The `make clean'
step can often be omitted (...) and in any case should be run before
`config -n', not immediately after.  The `make depend' step can be
omitted except when the kernel has already been built and some source
file has changed since `depend' was last made".

"make depend all" is often wrong and is certainly wrong for a kernel
immediately after it has been config'ed.  `make' doesn't rescan the
dependencies after the `make depend' step, so "make depend all" is
more or less equivalent to "make all; make depend".  "all" is noise
except when other targets are specifed.
