It still is only a workaround for several reasons.

First, it does not work for all make systems.
In addition, there are other kind of temporary files.
(For example, we had the problem with pyc python files,
where your workaround does not work.
In addition, our software generates many different
kind of temporary files where there exists
no clear command.)

Second, a complete re-build often cost a lot of time;
in our case it would cost several hours.
This means, every developer of our team would have
a break of several hours!!!
Our managers wouldn't be glad about this.

Third, this still conflicts the philosophy
that if users are working on disjunct project parts
that they should not interfer each other.

Therefore, all in all I agree that your proposal
is a workaround, but I think it is no solution.

Cheers,
Folker
