I just modified Parrot::Pmc2c::PMCEmitter.pm and rebuilt Parrot. The PMCs in
src/dynpmc/ didn't get rebuilt as the PMCs in src/pmc/ did. This indicates
that the former are missing a Makefile dependency.

This should be an easy fix for a Makefile hacker.

This should be an easy fix for a Makefile hacker.

We have 'make' target dynpmc-clean which is included in 'clean'. So if
you called 'make clean' before reconfiguring, wouldn't this achieve your
objective?

No; there's no reconfiguring. Running 'make clean' before rebuilding Parrot
gives up almost all of the advantages of maintaining proper dependencies in a
Makefile, and telling people to run 'make clean' after modifying code which
generates dynpmcs but not necessarily core PMCs is an awkward special case.
