Yes, just do "make"

Yes. Usually you will get a build error during linking when that happens. 
Sometimes you get very strange errors that suddenly disappear when you 
recompile from scratch. "make clean" might help then. Sometimes that is not 
enough though, and you will need to rerun "rm config.cache; make -f 
Makefile.cvs;./configure --enable-debug"
