It's not too bad to read that anyway (not much traffic, just me :).
You'll find some notes there that read:

mmd_vtables 8 ...  Please re-Configure && make ...
mmd_vtables 9 ...  Please make clean; perl Configure.pl ...

I know that theoretically the Makefile should take care of all these
dependencies (I just added one missing today) But by far not all are in.

Mainly any file that is generated by $OUR_TOOL depends on changes to
$OUR_TOOL. A lot of such rules are still missing. We need also a clean
way to reconfigure with the _very same options_ as Configure.pl was run
and include that dependency in the Makefile--grep for STICKY_FILES.

Then just "make reconfig" or such should generate all needed changes to
these STICKY_FILES. And yes--that may generate a new Makefile to run,
which we are currently running. A "please restart make" message for these
rare cases could be ok, though.

Any contributions WRT that (not only of course) are very welcome.

Back to the OP.

make realclean; perl Configure.pl --your-options && make all fulltest

should make it running again.
