The only reason that comes into my mind at the moment, is that it
would allow developers to switch ``quickly'' between product- and
non-product-builds, if they are testing a new feature. They would not
have to rebuild everything when switching the type of build.

But it does not makes much sense to me and has rather been a source of
problems in my experience. That is why I applied the change to the
makefile.
