No need for "make clean" (usually). Cvs ignores your objects.

One better way to it is to keep the srcdir and builddir separated.  In
srcdir you do a "make -f Makefile.cvs" and in builddir the usual
sequence of:
$HOME/cvs/kdelibs/configure -blablabla (your options, assuming cvs is the
                                        where you keep the stuff)
make
su
make install
exit

That way you can even nuke builddir without losing the sources.
