If you want to force a complete compile, then I recommend removing
the build directory entirely and starting from scratch. This is
very easy with an out-of-tree build.

I completely wipe the build dirs.

No. The docs on kainhofer.com are not our official docs. It is a
private server which Reinhold graciously makes available.
Compiling the docs from scratch requires a fair amount of
resources, ranging from CPU power to disk life (by using
read/writes) to electricity.
I agree that any official "daily snapshot" should build from
scratch. But I don't think it's worth the resources it would
take. A daily doc build was fantastic during GDP, but these days
the docs don't change all that rapidly, and all doc contributors
can build the docs themselves (mostly with lilybuntu).
